The AARE class is meant to handle the internals of path AppArmor regexes
at various places / rule types (filename, signal peer etc.). The goal is
to use it in rule classes to hide all regex magic, so that the rule
class can just use the match() method.
If log_event is given (which means handing over a raw path, not a regex),
the given path is converted to a regex in convert_expression_to_aare().
(Also, the raw path is used in match().)
BTW: The reason for delaying re.compile to match() is performance - I'd
guess a logprof run calls match() only for profiles with existing log
events, so we can save 90% of the re.compile() calls.
The patch also includes several tests.

With this addition, all globbing styles (as documented in apparmor.d(5))
are covered in the convert_regexp() tests.

The tests for convert_regexp() were hidden in common_test.py, where they
were never executed.
This patch moves them to the new file test-aare.py and also converts the
regex_tests.ini to a tests[] array to have the test data inside the test
file. (All tests from regex_tests.ini are in test-aare.py, and two tests
with prepended and appended path segments were added.)
Also add some tests that check the raw behaviour of convert_regexp() -
the tests "by example" are probably more useful and for sure more
readable ;-) but I want to have some examples of the converted regexes
available.
