This allows for dt_starts_with(), dt_ends_with(), dt_contains(), and dt_everything() to be used in cols for dt_pivot_longer() & dt_pivot_wider()

This is great, @mtfairbanks ! I made a few adjustments to the branch to fix the errors. Once those are cleared, I'll merge this.

As for integrating gdt, I think we can have tidyfast be open to the tidyverse but all built on data.table. I think the functions like dt_mutate(), dt_select(), etc. are very valuable and could possibly reach a larger audience within tidyfast. Do you want to make another pull request with those additions and we'll go through the functions we want to integrate?

Awesome! Sounds good. I'll open up an issue with all of the functions listed out
