Print target properties recursively and with regular expressions

[chapman39]

Adds three more arguments to blt_print_target_properties

• CHILDREN (true/ false) whether or not you want to print the target's children's properties as well (recursively)
• PROPERTY_NAME_REGEX (regular expression string) reduce which properties to print by name
• PROPERTY_VALUE_REGEX (regular expression string) reduce which properties to print by value

Each target will only have its properties printed once

Also adds .gitignore file to ignore a VSCode file

@chapman39 don't forget to update the docs here: docs/api/target_properties.rst

As well as adding a message in the RELEASE-NOTES.md

[chapman39]

Ready for review

This currently allows filtering based on property names. For example, INCLUDE will print both INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES. @chapman39 is going to add the ability to filter based on property values as well.

@kennyweiss , do you like which set of parameter names:

• PROP_NAME_REGEX and PROP_VALUE_REGEX
• PROPERTY_NAME_REGEX and PROPERTY_VALUE_REGEX

The latter is verbose but at least I wont have to remember what word we truncated. Thoughts?

[chapman39]

longer argument names, now can filter by property value.

[chapman39]

decided to keep some extra code in tests/internal for the blt_registered case. if i should remove it, or replace with less generic names (foo and bar) lmk.

I more verbose options seem clearer to me -- PROPERTY_NAME_REGEX and PROPERTY_VALUE_REGEX

Well i was originally going to say address this after but its blocking the builds. @chapman39 can you fix this before merging?

Passing osx_gcc, but now I'm failing three of the gitlab tests since it's saying I'm an unauthorized user (or maybe it's referring to a service user?)

Not sure what the problem was. I retried and it passed.
