Description
I have 63 toolchains, culminating in 40GB of hard drive use. I'd love to remove all nightlies, but I have to add the nightlies one by one. It would be great if one could specify regexes like rustup toolchain remove nightly-*.

Start at the rustup toolchain remove command entry point and trace how toolchain names are parsed and resolved. Determine how patterns such as nightly-* should match installed toolchains, then verify that matching toolchains are removed without changing single-name behavior.
