Merge master to refresh format base

Add a "Filter wildcards" subsection listing the bracket wildcard forms
the matcher (src/htsfilters.c) implements: *, *[file]/*[name], *[path],
*[param], character sets and ranges, literal escapes, size rules, and
the *[] end anchor. It links to the full filters page for the rest.
Added as an h4 under the filters section so section numbering and the
page ToC are untouched.
