           Summary: ports-mgmt/portmaster exclude option

As it is now for ` -x ` option
  for `-a` case : `-x firefox` = `-x firefox\*` = `-x \*firefox\*` = `-x
/firefox\*` - it uses value to pattern *firefox*

Question is - how should I exclude `firefox\*` pattern ?

  for `portname portname ...` case: `/` should be followed by name to exclude
and works like `-x /firefox\*` to exclude any port beginning with `firefox\*` .

Why do I need it? I don't want to compile huge ports like firefox, llvm, etc.
and they are updated via `pkg upgrade`. Now in case of `-a` option I can't
control it properly - for `-x llvm` it excludes needed to be excluded llvm70,
llvm80 ... and needed to be included py36*llvm* either.

Portmaster is 3.19_18 .

Please, point me to ways, whether I fail.

Thank you for development.
