Subject: lib/parser.c: add match_wildcard() function
X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~176^2~4584^2~121

lib/parser.c: add match_wildcard() function

match_wildcard function is a simple implementation of wildcard
matching algorithm. It only supports two usual wildcardes:
    '*' - matches zero or more characters
    '?' - matches one character
This algorithm is safe since it is non-recursive.
