NERDTree can't open files whose name ends with "*"

[denilsonsa]

How to reproduce:

1. touch 'fails*' 'works*fine' (Yeah, I know this is a weird filename.)
2. Open Vim or Gvim. Open NERDTree.
3. The works*fine file opens correctly, as expected.
4. The fails* file silently fails to open. It is also shown in a different color because NERDTree understands * as a suffix for executable files.

Known workaround:

• chmod +x 'fails*'

@denilsonsa , would you be willing to test the pull request #868 I've put together for this issue? Details are in the PR. Thanks.
