lib/oe/package_manager: support exclusion from complementary glob process by regex

Sometimes you do not want certain packages to be installed when
installing complementary packages, e.g. when using dev-pkgs in
IMAGE_FEATURES you may not want to install all packages from a
particular multilib. This introduces a new PACKAGE_EXCLUDE_COMPLEMENTARY
variable to allow specifying regexes to match packages to exclude.
