[bitbake][wrynose][2.18][PATCH 1/3] fetch/wget: in upstream version checks, match versioned directories exactly

[Yoann Congal]

From: Alexander Kanavin <alex@linutronix.de>

This change is in code that iterates over a html page, picking
out links to versioned subdirectories to check further for new versions.

Without the ^ and $ guards, there would be sub-string matches. This results in
querying the server multiple times for the same directory (for example,
perl check where the page contains multiple references to 5.0/something-unrelated)
or querying the server for directory that doesn't exist (nasm check, where
existence of 3.02rcX directories would result in querying the server for non-existing 3.02).

I have confirmed that the overall oe-core version check returns same results as before, with
less network churn and nasm version check working properly again.
