  1. logcheck: fix detection of invalid * regexp in filter 

    Extending the user-supplied regular expression to match the entire string by
adding ^ and $ turned invalid regular expressions like * into valid
ones (`^*$`) and thus didn't flag them as error.

It's better to compile the string exactly as supplied by the user (better error
message, properly detects this case) and then checking later whether the entire
string was matched.
