fix: allow wildcard regex expansion

[trent-abc]

Fixes an issue with wildcard conditionals. Allows the following in an action for example:

      if: "${{ contains(needs.*.result, 'failure') }}"

I asked claude-code to add some tests based on your change. Do they look right?

Probably? The exception that I was getting seems related to your test cases

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/actions_includes/expressions.py", line 228, in tokenizer
    for i in split(s):
  File "/actions_includes/expressions.py", line 224, in split
    yield from_literal(m.group(0))
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    raise ValueError('Unknown literal? {!r}'.format(v))
ValueError: Unknown literal? 'needs.'

fwiw gemini 3 pro gave me the regex fix 😆

Well, after a few small tweaks, the GitHub Actions say yes.

I'm going to merge this change.

@trent-abc - However, I would suggest you update whatever is using actions-include to use a better replacement like Composite Actions or Reusable workflows.
