feat(core): pattern matching for target defaults (#26870)

<!-- If this is a particularly complex change or feature addition, you
can request a dedicated Nx release for this pull request branch. Mention
someone from the Nx team or the `@nrwl/nx-pipelines-reviewers` and they
will confirm if the PR warrants its own release for testing purposes,
and generate it for you if appropriate. -->

## Current Behavior
TargetDefaults can be specified by keys matching either executor or
target name only

## Expected Behavior
TargetDefaults can match based on a glob pattern that may match the
target name. This is useful for things like `e2e-ci--*`. Only 1 target
default will ever apply to a given target. We recognize this may be
confusing, but is inline with current handling. If no default matches
the target name or key, the first default that matches by pattern will
be used.
