[PATCH v4 24/25] lib/parser: add match_wildcard_hyphen() for agnostic matching

[Jim Cromie]

This commit introduces match_wildcard_hyphen() as a variant of the
existing match_wildcard() function. It treats hyphens and underscores
as identical characters during the matching process.

This is necessary for subsystems like dynamic_debug that need to match
module names provided by users (who often use underscores) against
names stored in the kernel (which may use hyphens, especially when
using KBUILD_MODFILE for built-ins).

To avoid code duplication, the core logic is refactored into a private
__match_wildcard() function marked as __always_inline. This allows the
compiler to generate optimized versions for both the strict and agnostic
callsites with zero runtime overhead.
