Allow RegExp in galata helper when looking for a tab

[brichet]

Using the galata helper function activity -> getTabLocator doesn't look for the exact string name, and can fail due to duplicate string.

For example it is not possible to use it with the tab Settings, it lead to 2 locators, (1) the expected panel's tab and (2) the settings named Settings Editor Form UI (because the plugin list entry also have a 'tab' role)

Allowing also RegExp can help specifying the expected match string.

We will need to branch out 4.2.x from the previous commit (and update configs). I can do that later today or tomorrow.

Sorry for this, I'll be more careful next time.

We will need to branch out 4.2.x from the previous commit (and update configs). I can do that later today or tomorrow.

Out of curiosity, what are the configs to update ? I think of adding a 4.2.x milestone. Is there something else ?
BTW thanks for fixing it already @krassowski.
