No files are checked if path contains "wordpress"

Reproduction Steps

If the path to LifterLMS contains wordpress, then no files are checked. In my development environment, the path is C:\Vistacast\WordPress\src\wp-content\plugins\lifterlms\.

Files are checked if lifterlms-cs/LifterLMS/ruleset.xml is changed.

-    <exclude-pattern>wordpress/*</exclude-pattern>
+    <exclude-pattern>^/wordpress/*</exclude-pattern>

Expected Behavior

$ vendor/bin/phpcs -v
Registering sniffs in the LifterLMS Core standard... DONE (257 sniffs registered)
Creating file list... DONE (744 files in queue)
...

Actual Behavior

$ vendor/bin/phpcs -v
Registering sniffs in the LifterLMS Core standard... DONE (257 sniffs registered)
Creating file list... DONE (0 files in queue)

@thomasplevy, is the purpose of the wordpress/* exclusion pattern to prevent checking files in tmp/tests/wordpress/? If so, then the tmp/* exclusion pattern takes care of that.

This is a holdover from an older version of testing data that installed WP core into the wordpress/ at the root of the repo.

It can be removed fully as we never install WP into that directory anymore in any of our repos
