includeFiles and includeFilesWithType

The includeFiles and includeFilesWithType properties make it easy to include multiple challenges using a filename patern. Use includeFiles with Java challenges and includeFilesWithType with Python and Kotlin challenges.

To include all java challenges in a package that start with array*, use:

group("Group 1") {
  packageName = "group1"
  includeFiles = "array*.java"
}

To include all python challenges in a package that start with slice*, use:

group("Group 1") {
  packageName = "group1"
  // All challenges must have the same return type, which in this case is StringType
  includeFilesWithType = "slice*.py" returns StringType   
}

Valid return type values are: BooleanType, IntType, StringType, BooleanArrayType, IntArrayType, StringArrayType, BooleanListType, IntListType, StringListType.
The includeFiles or includeFilesWithType properties require a Github personal access token when used with a GitHubRepo object.
