Improve subtest selection logic when using -t/-a/-d parameters.
In particular, more than one subtest can be specified or a
combination of tests / subtests.

-a send_signal -d send_signal/send_signal_nmi* - runs send_signal
test without nmi tests

-a send_signal/send_signal_nmi*,find_vma - runs two send_signal
subtests and find_vma test

-a 'send_signal*' -a find_vma -d send_signal/send_signal_nmi* -
runs 2 send_signal test and find_vma test. Disables two send_signal
nmi subtests

-t send_signal -t find_vma - runs two *send_signal* tests and one
*find_vma* test

This will allow us to have granular control over which subtests
to disable in the CI system instead of disabling whole tests.

Also, add new selftest to avoid possible regression when
changing prog_test test name selection logic.

Unfortunately there is some regression introduced by these changes,
which is not easy to spot unless you try hard because of the annoying
lack of visibility into subtest results. But if you try running:

sudo ./test_progs -v -t bpf_cookie/trace

You'll notice that with our change we don't execute any subtest at
all. While before we'd execute bpf_cookie/tracepoint subtest properly.
Please take a look, must be some subtle thing somewhere.

Good catch. It is because I am not adding ‘*’ character around subtest name when -t parameter is used. Let me fix this.

Will add test around this as well.
