accounts: allow fnmatch-style wildcards in aliases
Wildcard aliases make it possible to always reply from the same address
to which a message was addressed, which is useful for catch-all email
domains. Support fnmatch-style wildcards in only the address portion of
an alias.
When replying to a message that matches a wildcard alias, substitute the
matching email address for the wildcard address, but keep the name
specified with the wildcard address. For example, when the alias
"Someone Awesome" <*@someone.com> is present, the reply to an email
addressed to "Someone" <hi@someone.com> would be from
"Someone Awesome" <hi@someone.com>.
