Slightly change rules of specifying file/prog glob filters. In practice it's quite often inconvenient to do `*/<prog-glob>` if that program glob is unique enough and won't accidentally match any file names. This patch changes the rules so that `-f <glob>` will apply specified glob to both file and program names. User still has all the control by doing '*/<prog-only-glob>' or '<file-only-glob/*'. We also now allow '/<prog-glob>' and '<file-glob/' (all matching wildcard is assumed if missing). Also, internally unify file-only and file+prog checks (should_process_file and should_process_prog are now should_process_file_prog that can handle prog name as optional). This makes maintaining and extending this code easier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
