Pull request overview
This PR refactors the glab tool configuration to use mise's native GitLab backend instead of the ubi backend with a GitLab provider parameter. The change simplifies the configuration syntax while maintaining functionality across all platforms.
Key Changes:
- Replaced
ubi:gitlab-org/cli[provider=gitlab,exe=glab]withgitlab:gitlab-org/cli[exe=glab]for glab tool - Removed
matching_regexparameter from Windows platform configuration - Added GitHub backend entries for several other tools (bosh-backup-and-restore, clusterawsadm, helm-diff, k3kcli, mdbook-linkcheck, opsgenie-lamp)

This change appears unrelated to the PR's stated purpose of refactoring glab to use the native GitLab backend. Adding GitHub backend entries for multiple tools (bosh-backup-and-restore, clusterawsadm, helm-diff, k3kcli, mdbook-linkcheck, opsgenie-lamp) introduces scope creep and makes the PR harder to review and test. Consider moving these changes to a separate PR focused on adding GitHub backend support for these tools.

The Windows platform now uses the same backend configuration as Linux/macOS, but the previous configuration had a matching_regex=^glab\.exe$ parameter that was explicitly removed. Ensure that the native gitlab backend correctly handles Windows executable naming conventions (.exe extension) without this parameter, as the removal could affect Windows compatibility.

Changed glab from ubi backend with provider=gitlab to the native gitlab backend for cleaner configuration. - Before: ubi:gitlab-org/cli[provider=gitlab,exe=glab] - After: gitlab:gitlab-org/cli[exe=glab] The gitlab backend is more direct and doesn't require the provider parameter. Applies to all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows). Test section already exists and remains unchanged.

Bug: Unsupported exe option used with gitlab backend
The exe=glab option is only supported by the ubi backend (in src/backend/ubi.rs), not by the gitlab backend which uses UnifiedGitBackend. The gitlab backend does not recognize or use the exe option, so this configuration will be silently ignored. If the intent is to specify the executable name, the gitlab backend supports rename_exe for archives or bin for single binaries instead. Additionally, the Windows configuration previously used matching_regex=^glab\.exe$ specifically to fix asset selection issues; removing this and switching to a backend without equivalent functionality may cause Windows installations to pick the wrong asset.
