feat: Add wildcards/regular expressions support to all options in _config.yml about jekyll HOT 4 OPEN

Wildcards haven't traditionally been supported in those fields because they're unsafe due to path traversal attacks. While path traversal attacks don't have the same impact on a static site generator compared to a web server, we do need to be aware of and mitigate the problem somehow.

I would welcome a PR to support glob wildcards for these fields but adding regular expression support for these fields is not something I'm in favor of adding.

How about adding separate options like exclude_regexp etc and printing warning if they are used?

No. Our config is full of too many options as it is.

Ok. Maybe I will make plugin later.
