Paul Barker April 3, 2026, 8:38 a.m. UTC 
If '*' is present as a separate token in DISTRO_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT or
MACHINE_FEATURES_OPTED_OUT, interpret this as opting out of all default
features.

If '*' is part of a larger word, this is not treated specially - 'FOO*'
will not trigger removal of all features.

This is implemented in set_difference() so that the behaviour can be
reused in other similar processing we may need to do in the future.
