Users had to enumerate every dependency environment explicitly, which was error-prone when adding new environments to env_list. Glob patterns like `depends = py3*` now match against the set of environments being run, using fnmatch semantics. Self-matches are excluded to prevent cycles. Closes tox-dev#1152

Users had to enumerate every dependency environment explicitly in
depends, which was error-prone — adding a new Python version toenv_listwithout updatingdependscould cause race conditions in parallel runs. 🔧 This became especially painful for projects testing across many Python versions or platform factors.Glob patterns like
depends = py3*now match against all environments in the current run, usingfnmatchsemantics (*,?,[...]). Non-glob entries pass through unchanged, so existing configurations keep working. Self-matches are automatically excluded to prevent dependency cycles (e.g.depends = *won't create a self-dependency).Factor syntax (
{py39,py310}-test) continues to work as before since glob resolution happens after factor expansion at runtime inrun_order(), where the full set of environments is known.Closes #1152
