feat(core-config): opt-in to lua patterns for dev.patterns

[fredrikaverpil]

Description

This adds the ability to opt-in to use lua patterns for dev.patterns. I'm currently helping a friend who uses NixOS and where there apparently is very poor and fragmented approaches on how to set up Neovim with plugins downloaded using Nix but configured with Lazy.

Here's a blog post by @KFearsoff outlining the overall setup, and also highlights the reason for this PR:

If you've been paying close attention to what changed between the steps, you have probably noticed that in the last step, we added dev.patterns = {"folke"}. Why not wildcard?

The sad answer is that there's no wildcard. The pattern matcher used in lazy.nvim doesn't support them. Which means that we unfortunately have to add new entries to it when we add a new plugin: if we installed a plugin "hrsh7th/nvim-cmp", we need to add "hrsh7th" to dev.patterns. I'm about to submit an issue to fix that, pinky swear. But for now it is what it is

Apparently, I might beat @KFearsoff to the punch here, if you think this addition is ok. 😆
Or maybe you have a better idea?

Anyway, the goal with this PR is to be able to do something like this: patterns = { ".*" }.

@KFearsoff 👋 perhaps you would like to add anything? 😄

[folke]

dev.patterns = {""} works

[KFearsoff]

dev.patterns = {""} works

Damn. Seems obvious enough, but also something I didn't anticipate at all.

Any chance this could be documented? This is such a small thing, but it would help immensely for this weird edge case that we have.

@KFearsoff did you try it? Maybe update your blog post with this info so that others reading your post is aware of this?
