  t/run/todo.t, t/op/glob.t: Revise TODO status of glob test

The "GH 16869" test added to t/run/todo.t in de313d8e84 (Aug 23 2025)
was written in the belief that an assertion failure in glob3 would be
encountered on all debugging builds.  Examination of test results
suggests that this is only true on Linux.  If so, then we can have this
test run "live" (i.e., without TODO or SKIP conditions) on all
non-debugging builds on all platforms and on debugging builds other than
on Linux.

To test this hypothesis, we'll restrict the scope of the GH 16869 TODO
condition to debugging builds on Linux and run the test without TODO or
SKIP conditions from t/op/glob.t.  Should the test in t/op/glob.t now
start to fail, we'll know we have deeper problems which warrant renewed
examination in GH #16869.

Also: let's use 'done_testing()' rather than 'plan()' because the exact
number of tests to be run in todo.t is inherently quite variable.
