Historically we matched log filters with strstr(), and when switching to fnmatch in cbb0fd3cfdc287f6f4653ef1f04a7cfb2ea51b27, it was stated that we would continue to match substrings, with "foo" being equivalent to "*foo*". Unfortuntely I forget to provide the code to actually make that happen. This fixes it to prepend and append "*". We don't bother to check if the pattern already has a leading/trailing '*', because "**foo**" will match the same as "*foo*". Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
