[PATCH 01/11] cmd: test: add support for =~ operator

[Rasmus Villemoes]

Currently, the only way to make use of regex matching in the shell is
by using "setexpr [g]sub" command. That's rather awkward for asking
whether a string matches a regex. At the very least, it requires
providing setexpr with a dummy target variable, but also, the return
value of setexpr doesn't say whether any substitutions were done, so
one would have to do some roundabout thing like

  env set dummy "${string_to_test}"
  setexpr sub dummy '<some regex>' ''
  if test "${dummy}" != "${string_to_test}" ; then ...

When CONFIG_REGEX is set, teach the test command a new operator, =~,
which will allow one to more naturally write

  if test "${string_to_test}" =~ '<some regex>' ; then ...
