      Marketplace packages now accept wildcards ('?' and '*') in target platform value.

      Description

      We need to install a package built for an official release on a maintenance build without relaxing the target platform constraint.
      For instance: a package built for 5.6.0 must be installable on a 5.6.0-HF08. Even if 5.6.0-HF08 is not an official release (it's a manual build from the maintenance branch or a download of a "hotfixed" distribution), some developers/customers sometimes use such distributions. Using the "relax" option is an issue since it brings install of 5.7* packages (in that sample case).

      A clean solution would be to explicitly state in the Marketplace package that they are compliant with "5.6.0" and "5.6.0-HF*".
      Another solution would be to hard-code that "HF*" compliance in the platform
      Going on the clean solution, the required changes and drawbacks are:

      • add wildcards management in the platform,
      • ability to install hotfix packages (ie: 5.6.0-HF01 on a 5.6.0-HF08 distribution!) but the install would have no effect on the distribution,
      • packages must be updated to add the generic HF* target (not a big deal using the Connect UI or API).
