Issue Description

Attempting to use a wildcard in the rootdn-allow-ip attribute of the rootdn_access plugin causes the server to fail to start:

ERR - rootdn-access-control-plugin - rootdn_load_config - IP address contains invalid characters (127.*), skipping
ERR - rootdn-access-control-plugin - rootdn_init - Unable to load plug-in configuration
ERR - plugin_setup - Init function "rootdn_init" for "RootDN Access Control" plugin in library "librootdn-access-plugin" failed
ERR - load_plugin_entry - Unable to load plugin "cn=RootDN Access Control,cn=plugins,cn=config"

The use of wildcards is documented and was allowed when the plugin was originally added, but the changes in #48027 unintentionally broke the parsing of values containing a *.

Quick/untested fix at https://pagure.io/fork/yrro/389-ds-base/diff/master..rootdn-allow-ip-wildcards.

Thanks for the original patch @yrro

I had to make a few changes to get the test case to run correctly, so I ended up creating a new PR
