The greasemonkey `@match` directive is used to match urls against
chromium url patterns (as opposed to `@include` which treats its
argument as a glob expression). I was using fnmatch for both here
because I am lazy and knew someone else was going to implement chromium
url patterns for me eventually. Now it is done and I should switch to
using them instead. The most common failing case that this will fix is
something matching on `*://*.domain.com/*` because it wouldn't match
the url with no subdomain.
This codepath is only used on webengine 5.7.1 and webkit backends.
Like the spec says, if a value for the @include or @exclude rules starts
and ends with a '/' it should be parsed as a regular expression.
Technically a ECMAScript syntax regular expression, but I am not sure of
the differences and I assume they are far fewer than the similarities.
One that I did see mentioned was that javascript RegExp doesn't support
unicode. Although it apparently does support a 'u' flag now.
Note that code will only be ran for QtWebkit and QWebEngine < 5.8
we rely on the builtin support for metadata it QWebEngine for most
things greasemonkey related. Sadly it seems that they missed the regex
requirement too. I've opened a ticket to track that https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-65484
