Cannot represent matching all files against multiple patterns

[luisrayas3]

The use-case seems like it would be quite useful and natural: I would like a label to apply if ALL of the changed files are of a few certain types. For example:

documentation:
  - all: ["**/*.md", "**/*.puml"]

This of course doesn't work as all files need to match both patterns which never happens. Another attempt:

documentation:
  - all: ["**/*.md"]
  - all: ["**/*.puml"]

This almost works but does not work if the change touches both md files and puml files.

AFAICT there is no way to represent what I'm trying to do, but it feels like a very natural and useful case to support.

Why this does not work?

documentation:
  - "**/*.md"
  - "**/*.puml"

My reading of the documentation is that that example is the same as:

documentation:
  - any: ["**/*.md"]
  - any: ["**/*.puml"]

This would add the documentation label to a PR consisting of 99 .c files and one .md file, which is not the intention.

Just so it's explicitly clear, I have PR #487 outstanding that adds this feature.

See comment #487 (comment) which illustrates my idea of how this filter would work.
