Filter scoped labels with a wildcard

Problem to solve

There is no way of filtering by all labels under a given scope. This would be very useful in order to find all issues relevant to a given scope without having to apply all labels

Release notes

Filter scoped labels with a wildcard to quickly find issues, epics, or merge requests that all share the same key from a set of scoped labels. You can also pair wildcard filtering with != is not to easily filter down items that do not have any label from a set of scoped labels. To filter with a wildcard, just append * after typing in your scoped label key (ex: label::*).
