WP CLI `.distignore` syntax is changing

[BrianHenryIE]

Describe the bug

WP CLI's .distignore files will soon support the full .gitignore syntax. Users who write their .distignore file with the larger syntax will encounter issues with 10up/action-wordpress-plugin-deploy.

wp-cli/dist-archive-command#78

Expected behavior

Users will expect a .distignore file to behave the same in both contexts.

Additional context

There are no breaking changes with the existing syntax, the new syntax is a superset (according to the test cases in wp-cli/dist-archive-command).

@BrianHenryIE I opened #148 to address this issue. Please review the pull request and let me know if you have any feedback. Also, I see this repo was last released in 2020 but items are still being merged into the main branch. Was this feature ever released, if not, when will it be?

[BrianHenryIE]

That release was tagged just now. I’m on holidays right now so haven’t had a chance to test anything yet.
