Print target properties recursively and with regular expressions

[chapman39]

Adds three more arguments to blt_print_target_properties

• CHILDREN (true/ false) whether or not you want to print the target's children's properties as well (recursively)
• PROPERTY_NAME_REGEX (regular expression string) reduce which properties to print by name
• PROPERTY_VALUE_REGEX (regular expression string) reduce which properties to print by value

Each target will only have its properties printed once

Also adds .gitignore file to ignore a VSCode file

@chapman39 don't forget to update the docs here: docs/api/target_properties.rst

As well as adding a message in the RELEASE-NOTES.md

[chapman39]

Ready for review

Nice work! This will be very useful for debugging. Had some minor comments on documentation.

Suggested change

	## recursively in TLIST.
	## recursively in tlist.

[chapman39]

i think it should still be capital TLIST but ill change the wording to explain TLIST holds the name of the variable that has the list.

so its like:

• arg_TLIST = "my_list"
• ${arg_TLIST} = my_list = "target1;target2;target3"

Also: Looks like the Mac Image version will need to be updated: https://dev.azure.com/llnl-blt/BLT/_build/results?buildId=1328&view=logs&j=8dab7c2a-824f-53c4-ff36-17cdfa82e5d3

blt/azure-pipelines.yml

Lines 53 to 55 in 7b3b13d

Well i was originally going to say address this after but its blocking the builds. @chapman39 can you fix this before merging?

[chapman39]

Passing osx_gcc, but now I'm failing three of the gitlab tests since it's saying I'm an unauthorized user (or maybe it's referring to a service user?)

Not sure what the problem was. I retried and it passed.

Thanks @chapman39 ! This is a huge improvement!
