Footprint filter provides two Regex filtering options. One for keywords
and one for footprint keywords. The footprint keywords (contained in
the symbol files) need explicit '*' at the beginning and end of the
filters to allow matching start/end. Type-in filters should search
implicitly matching any wildcard substring.

Footprint filters need to be able to match the start and end of strings.
The standard wildcard filter implictly adds "*" to the start and end of
match strings, so we create a derived class that requires an explicit
"*" or "?" to match wildcards.
