perf probe: Add variable filter support

Add filters support for available variable list.

Default filter is "!__k???tab_*&!__crc_*" for filtering out
automatically generated symbols.

The format of filter rule is "[!]GLOBPATTERN", so you can use wild
cards. If the filter rule starts with '!', matched variables are filter
out.

e.g.:
 # perf probe -V schedule --externs --filter=cpu*
Available variables at schedule
        @<schedule+0>
                cpumask_var_t   cpu_callout_mask
                cpumask_var_t   cpu_core_map
                cpumask_var_t   cpu_isolated_map
                cpumask_var_t   cpu_sibling_map
                int     cpu_number
                long unsigned int*      cpu_bit_bitmap
