Check to see if a platform is matched by the given `meta.platforms`

A `meta.platform` pattern is either

2. (modern) a pattern for the entire platform structure (see `lib.systems.inspect.platformPatterns`).
3. (modern) a pattern for the platform `parsed` field (see `lib.systems.inspect.patterns`).
