Glob pattern in parser's option "project" slows down linting

- [x] I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
- [x] I have updated to the latest version of the packages.
- [x] I have [read the FAQ](https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/master/docs/getting-started/linting/FAQ.md) and my problem is not listed.

**Repro**

```shell
# Clone typescript-eslint into current directory
git clone https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint
cd typescript-eslint
# Install packages to increase number of files and subfolders in the directory
yarn install
# Lint ESLint rules with enabled debugging and pass tsconfig.json to project option via glob pattern
eslint packages\eslint-plugin\src\rules --parser-options debugLevel:true,project:**/packages/eslint-plugin/tsconfig.json
```

**Expected Result**

Linting with glob pattern should take similar time as when tsconfig.json is passed directly via relative path. 

```shell
eslint typescript-eslint\packages\eslint-plugin\src\rules --parser-options debugLevel:true,project:packages/eslint-plugin/tsconfig.json
```
Output:

```

**Actual Result**

Parser seems to be resolving glob pattern for every linted file individually which significantly increases time to finish the scan. 

```shell
eslint packages\eslint-plugin\src\rules --parser-options debugLevel:true,project:**/packages/eslint-plugin/tsconfig.json
```
