Filter expression '<tagname>'="string" syntax should allow wildcards

Performance Equations syntax for filtering in SMT and Datalink should allow wildcards for strings: For instance, ''="*substring*" interprets the * as a literal character rather than as a wildcard. To achieve the desired filter, it is currently possible to do Compare(string(''),"*substring*") but this syntax is not as intuitive.
