apt list: Fix behavior of regex vs fnmatch vs wildcards
Previously (and still in cacheset), patterns where only allowed to start with ? or ~, which ignores the fact that a pattern might just as well start with a negation, such a !~nfoo. Also, we ignored the --regex flag if it looked like this, which was somewhat bad. Let's change this all: * If --regex is given, arguments are always interpreted as regex * If it is a valid package wildcard (name or * characters), then it will be interpreted as a wildcard - this set of characters is free from meaningful overlap with patterns. * Otherwise, the argument is interpreted as a pattern. For a future version, we need to adapt parsing for cacheset and list to use a common parser, to avoid differences in their interpretation. Likely, this code will go into the pattern parser, such that it generates a pattern given a valid fnmatch argument for example.
