feat(assertions): stringLikeRegexp() matcher

[otaviomacedo]

The logic was partly copied from the function with the same name from assert-internal, but the implementation was changed to use minimatch. This way, we can have a well-known and stable contract for the matcher.

Closes #18051.

Can you compare with this implementation and see what's different? Niranjan reimplemented it for Pipelines, I don't know if he changed anything:

aws-cdk/packages/@aws-cdk/pipelines/test/testhelpers/matchers.ts

Lines 20 to 43 in 604564c

	class StringLike extends Matcher {
	public name = 'StringLike';
	constructor(private readonly pattern: string) {
	super();
	}
	public test(actual: any): MatchResult {
	if (typeof(actual) !== 'string') {
	throw new Error(`Expected string but found ${typeof(actual)} ${JSON.stringify(actual)}`);
	}
	const re = new RegExp(`^${this.pattern.split('*').map(escapeRegex).join('.*')}$`);
	const result = new MatchResult(actual);
	if (!re.test(actual)) {
	result.push(this, [], `Looking for string with pattern "${this.pattern}" but found "${actual}"`);
	}
	return result;
	function escapeRegex(s: string) {
	return s.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&'); // $& means the whole matched string
	}
	}
	}
