Do not propagate glob creation error for external args (#12955)

# Description
Instead of returning an error, this PR changes `expand_glob` in
`run_external.rs` to return the original string arg if glob creation
failed. This makes it so that, e.g.,
```nushell
^echo `[`
^echo `***`
```
no longer fail with a shell error. (This follows from #12921.)
