More flexible environment variable wildcard scopes

[chuck-alt-delete]

Right now, I can do */*, */{repo}, or {org}/{repo}, but I’d like to do something like {org}/{repo prefix}-* to scope my variables for all repos in an org that start with {repo prefix}.

My particular use case is education. I’d like for my learners to be able to enter environment variables once and have them available in all repos prefixed with training- so they only have to do a one time environment variable setup in order to run all training material. Scoping to the prefix is preferable because it’s a large org and people might want different values for those variables in other parts of the org.

I realize there could be overlapping scopes, so there would have to be precedence rules, like whichever variables are higher in the list under settings -> variables would get precedence.
