Accept wildcard `*` for PDB API endpoints

Issue Type:	New Feature
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2021/06/16 10:48 PM
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Henry Wang

We have a user case that the following API call is reported as working from PE 2019.2.1 (6.7.3) but stopped working after an upgrade to PE 2019.8.6 (6.16.1):

curl -G 'https://corp-puppet-db-np.homedepot.com:8081/pdb/query/v4/environments/*/reports' --data-urlencode 'query=["=", "noop", false]' --data-urlencode 'limit=1'

After the upgrade, the user just get "not found" returned from that query. Based on some simple troubleshooting, the query works fine if the user substitute one of our environments for '*'.

I don't find any document saying `*` is supported in these versions. Thus, this ticket created as a feature request first to explorer as it sounds like a good feature to have.

Any comments from PDB engineering team are appreciated.
