this pull request gives a bit more power to the process matching by:
1) match against the entire command line instead of just the process name
2) use search instead of match to allow matching a substring at any position, and not just at the start of the commandline
this changes the behavior of littlebrother a little bit: existing rules should still result in a positive match after this change, if they did so before. BUT: existing rules can now also result in a positive match if they did not before (e.g. due to the pattern occurring in the full commandline, but not in the process name, or due to the pattern occurring in a substring and not at position 0 in the string).
this is useful for me, to e.g. match against e.g. java games being played. (Like Minecraft). In those cases the process name is java, but I do not want to track all java usage, only minecraft. Providing "minecraft" as a pattern with this pull request allows me to do just that!
if you do not consider this an improvement, then I fully understand, feel free to ignore this pull request then. A more elaborate solution where you can choose between matching the process name v.s. matching the commandline might be a solution then.
