Enable QueryExecutor to handle glob patterns (e.g., `foo*`) and regex patterns (e.g., `^numpy.*$`) in package names. Previously, these specs were silently dropped. The implementation stores pattern specs separately and expands them by matching against all package names from the subdirs before fetching records.

Add a new `rattler search` command that demonstrates the glob and regex pattern support in repodata queries. Users can search for packages using: - Exact names: `rattler search python` - Glob patterns: `rattler search "python*"` - Regex patterns: `rattler search "^numpy-.*$"` Example usage: rattler search "openssl*" -c conda-forge --limit 5 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it would be nicer if we can do this concurrently. This now blocks everything else meaning that if you have a channel that takes much longer we are essentially wasting time.
When a subdir resolves we query its names for matching packages.
I can also give this a go if that helps?
