Subject: [PATCH v5 1/3] lib/parser.c: add match_wildcard function

From: "Du, Changbin" <changbin.du@...il.com>

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's of non-recursion.
