Add wildcard and regex modes to Bulk Rename

Plain-text substring matching couldn't handle a batch of
slightly-different patterns (e.g. several release-group suffixes) in
one pass. Add a match-type selector: wildcard (shell-style */?) for
the common case, and full regex (with backreferences in the
replacement) for anything more precise. Invalid regex is caught and
reported inline instead of failing the request.

replaced with re.sub - `replacement` may use backreferences like
