Standardize use of --models syntax across CLI + docs site

[emilieschario]

The --models syntax in the dbt docs lineage graph viewer produces different results from the command line.

From the command line, --models zendesk.base recognizes 4 models.

In our dbt docs site, we get sad results https://gitlab-data.gitlab.io/analytics/dbt/snowflake/#!/overview

My expected behavior would be to see the graph of each of those models and the + syntax to be how they flow/evolve/transform.

For my case, the solution was to use zendesk.base.*+ on the docs site. Thanks @cclaus for the tip!

Thanks for the report @emilieschario! This graph selection logic can be a little gnarly in places, but I think the relevant part of the codebase to check out is over here: https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt-docs/blob/master/src/app/services/node_selection_service.js#L230-L289

Let me know if this is something you'd like to have a go at!

@emilieschario check out the changes in #38! I tested this by pulling GitLab's manifest.json file and validating that zendesk.base selected four nodes as expected :)

@drewbanin you're the greatest! Thanks! Can't wait for 0.15.0 now 😄

targeting 0.14.1 for this :)
