Description

When using ohcldiag-dev in constrained environments (where, for example, simply parsing the json output is unwieldly), my quality of life would be improved if I could run something like this:

ohcldiag-dev <foo> inspect vm/partition/vp/*****/state (wild cards as part of the path)
or
ohcldiag-dev <foo> inspect vm/partition/vp/0/state vm/partition/vp/1/state (multiple paths)

Research direction

Start at the ohcldiag-dev CLI's inspect command and trace how it parses a path argument and selects values. Support wildcard segments and multiple paths as shown in the issue, then verify both example invocations produce the requested inspection results.
