Feature #286: Support wildmat/regex matches

Having wildmat/regex pattern matching for node, case, if, etc would be very 
powerful.

Instead of assuming all strings are one type or another, one possibility would 
be to assume strings without any meta-chars to be an exact match, those with 
meta-chars to be interpreted wildmat (globbing), and those prefixed with "re:" 
(or %r) to be interpreted as regex. This maintains compatibility without 
surprises for those not using/familiar with regex.

wildmat/globbing looks cleaner for common cases (eg "node: farm*" for matching 
all "farmXXX" hosts), but regex is more precise (thus i enjoy having both).
