In the event repository it is allowed to query the data.identity using a regex and the ETOS API supports this. However, when running with certain regexes the ETOS Client will scream and shout that it's not a valid package url. For instance: pkg:something/other[?] would fail (because of ?).
Motivation
A common use-case is to use a regex for ETOS, we should allow this.
Exemplification
Example was provided in description.
Benefits
Happy users.
Possible Drawbacks
Allowing regex will make users use regex and regex is a heavy operation in mongodb. We don't really want users to use regex, but there are cases where they must.
