Subject: [PATCH v3 19/21] dyndbg: extend ddebug_parse_flags to accept optional leading filter-flags

Change ddebug_parse_flags to accept optional filterflags before the
required operator [-+=].  Read the flags into the filter_flags
parameter added in the previous patch.  So this now supplies the
filterflags to ddebug_exec_query.

filterflags work like query terms, they constrain what callsites get
matched before theyre modified.  So like a query, they can be empty.

Filterflags let you read callsite's flagstate, including results of
previous modifications, and require that certain flags are set, before
modifying the callsite further.

So you can build up sets of callsites by marking them with a
particular flagstate, for example 'fmlt', then enable that set in a
batch.

  echo fmlt+p >control

Naturally you can use almost any combo of flags you want for marking,
and can mark several different sets with different patterns.  And then
you can activate them in a bunch:

  echo 'ft+p; mt+p; lt+p;' >control

You just can't prohibit true flags.
