Draft: added support for perl regex to the filterbar

Aiwendil Hallacar requested to merge aiwendilh/dolphin:regex_filter into master
  • added regex checkbox to filterbar
  • several helper functions to submit the checkbox status to KFileItemModelFilter
  • modified KFileItemModelFilter to use full regex if asked for

Currently the filterbar of dolphin generates a regex if the input contains any wildcard characters by using QRegularExpression::wildcardToRegularExpression(). The proposed patch adds an option to use full regex instead which are a bit more powerful.
