if ansible.builtin.fileglob plugin is used in ansible.builtin.template, it searches under files/

Summary

If ansible.builtin.fileglob plugin is used in ansible.builtin.template - whether it's via loop+query() or via with_fileglob:, it searches under files/ instead of templates/ when used inside a role.

It also requires at least ./ prepended to search at all.

Steps to Reproduce

- name: Prepare .bashrc.d files
  ansible.builtin.template:
    src: "{{ item }}"
    dest: "/home/{{ nu_user }}/.bashrc.d/"
    owner: "{{ nu_user }}"
    group: "{{ nu_group }}"
    mode: '0644'
  loop: "{{ query('ansible.builtin.fileglob', './[0-9][0-9]-bashrc*.sh') }}"

Expected Results

Fileglob plugin while called in context of template should search under templates. Prepending ./ to the glob probably shouldn't be necessary either.

Actual Results

TASK [common : Prepare .bashrc.d files] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /home/nozo/iliad/nussknacker-ansible/roles/common/tasks/main.yml:35
looking for "." at "/home/nozo/iliad/nussknacker-ansible/roles/common/files/."
