modpost: expand pattern matching to support substring matches
Currently the match() function supports a leading * to match any prefix and a trailing * to match any suffix. However there currently is not a combination of both that can be used to target matches of whole families of functions that share a common substring. Here we expand the *foo and foo* match to also support *foo* with the goal of targeting compiler generated symbol names that contain strings like ".constprop." and ".isra."
