feat(core): filter affected projects by glob pattern on tags

[yharaskrik]

ISSUES CLOSED: #2675

Current Behavior

When running affected command you only get all affected projects that have the target running affected for

Expected Behavior

Can filter affected projects by glob patterns so that you can run a target for all affected projects who have a tag scope* (for example)

Example:

There are two apps in the project client and api they are configured like so:

client:
  tags: ["frontend", "scope:app"]

api:
  tags: ["backend", "scope:server"]

Let's say they share a lib dtos, if we make a change in dtos and then run nx affected:apps it should print out client and api (currently).

What if we have two different CI machines, one does everything for servers and one does everything for apps. With this PR we could do:

CI Machine 1
yarn nx affected:* --tags frontend

CI Machine 2
yarn nx affected:* --tags backend

A more complex example and what spurred this is, we have the need for some of our docker containers to be built on ARM resources and some to be built on x86 resources (there are definitely different ways to do this but this is just the situation that spurred this). Each of our servers could be tagged with arm or x86 then we could do

ARM Machine
yarn nx affected:dockerize --tags arm

x86 Machine
yarn nx affected:dockerize --tags x86

The tags flag accepts a glob pattern so you could so something like --tags "scope:*" to run a target on all affected projects that have a scope tag as well.

Currently the CLI will accept --tags=tag1,tag2,scope* and then AND them together so a project is required to have a tag that matches all of the glob tags passed in. Not sure if this would be better as an OR or have it as an exclude with AND or OR. Open to ideas here.
