feat(remote): support wildcards in remote values/secrets file selectors (#2787)

Extend git-getter style remote references (git::, s3::, https://, ...) used
in release and environment values/secrets to support glob patterns in the
file selector, e.g.:

  git::https://github.com/org/repo.git@config/*.yaml?ref=main

Remote.Fetch already downloads the whole repository/directory and joins the
"@<file>" selector onto it verbatim, so a wildcard selector already survives
untouched; the only missing piece was that Storage.resolveFile checked the
result with FileExistsAt instead of expanding it as a glob.

- pkg/remote/remote.go: add HasGlobPattern to detect a wildcard in the file
  selector (checking only the selector, not the raw URL, so "?ref=main" and
  IPv6/placeholder brackets elsewhere are not mistaken for wildcards). Reject
  wildcards in Fetch for getter shapes that can never expand one: plain
  http(s)/s3 (single object), non-archive forced s3:: (single object), and
  any getter used without an explicit "@" selector (Dir/File cannot be
  reliably split from the pattern otherwise).
- pkg/state/storage.go: resolveFile now globs the fetched cache path with the
  same st.fs.Glob/sort.Strings used for local values-file globs when the
  selector is a pattern, filtering out directory matches. A literal, existing
  path is still resolved directly. Fixed an existing err-shadowing hazard in
  the same code path while restructuring it.
- docs/environments.md: document the new wildcard support, its syntax
  (filepath.Match, no recursive **), and its getter/selector requirements.
- Tests: new cases in pkg/remote/remote_test.go (glob detection, Fetch
  wildcard expansion and cache-key sharing, rejected getter shapes) and
  pkg/state/storage_test.go (a real end-to-end wildcard fetch against a
  pinned upstream tag, plus a hermetic fan-out/sorting/missing-file test with
  no network access).

Release values/secrets keep their existing "glob patterns ... not supported
yet" restriction for multi-file matches (pkg/state/state.go), unchanged by
this commit and applying equally to local and remote globs. helmfiles: entries
are out of scope.
