Proposal: dtm list filter flag enhancement

[daniel-hutao]

Description

We can now use dtm list plugins --filter {regex} to filter the list of plugins. Thanks for @lyleshaw #462 #463

But dtm list plugins --filter=".repo" -> github-repo-scaffolding-golang is still a bit complicated. If I don't understand regex, then I don't understand what "." means here.

What if dtm be smarter like:

• input --filter="repo" -> render to --filter=".repo." -> output github-repo-scaffolding-golang
• input --filter=".repo" -> no render -> output github-repo-scaffolding-golang
• input --filter="repo." -> no render -> output github-repo-scaffolding-golang

More specifically, when the user input string by --filter contains only alphanumerics and dashes (a,a-b,a1b), we add a "." before and after (.a.,.a-b.,.a1b.).

Note: it's a good-first-issue, can only be assigned by contributors who have not submitted PR.
