feat: add devDependencies support & regex ignored dependencies to @nx/dependency-checks

[nwidynski]

This (non-breaking) PR adds support for multiple configuration objects as well as a production flag to the dependency-checks eslint rule. This is similar to how https://knip.dev/features/production-mode works.

With this change, it is now possible to enforce presence of devDependencies for dev-only files, e.g. .spec, like so:

// ...
"@nx/dependency-checks": ["error", 
  { "ignoredFiles": ["**/*.spec.ts"] }, 
  { "production": false, "ignoredFiles": ["**/!(*.spec.ts)"] }
]

Furthermore, this PR also adds capability to match dependencies via regex pattern in the ignoredDependencies.

Current Behavior

It is impossible to enforce dev-only dependencies.
