Improve tests for bun update --filter support

Enhanced the regression tests to better verify that filtering functionality
actually works correctly:

- Test that --filter accepts workspace patterns without errors
- Test catalog dependencies work with --filter
- Test glob patterns work with --filter (web-*)
- Test invalid/non-existent workspace filters are handled gracefully
- Verify help text shows the new --filter option

These tests now properly verify the filtering behavior beyond just checking
that the flag is accepted by the CLI parser.
