Wildcard routes aren't supported properly in config

[aaronpowell]

I have a staticwebapp.config.json with a route defined as follows:

{
  "routes": [
    {
      "route": "/manage*",
      "allowedRoles": ["authenticated"]
    }
  ]
}

While this is how you should match a path per the docs, the CLI doesn't correctly generate the regex required to do the wildcard matching, it generates /^\/manage*$/ not /^\/manage.*$/ (not the missing . to indicate the any character after match). There also isn't a test case to cover this in the glob.spec.ts tests.

You can see the failure to find it appropriately looking at the output in the silly logging (it's about a dozen lines down):

Any updates on this @cjk7989 ? Wildcards not working correctly in local development makes testing more complex route permissions impossible.

@thomasgauvin I just ran into this again in a customer scenario with local integration and e2e tests, any roadmap on this?
