Allow exclude (!) to work for regexp matches as well about naemon-core HOT 4 CLOSED

Are you sure these weren’t working in Nagios 4? I was pretty sure I used to have a client I did a lot of excludes so I could have a big hostgroup, like all web servers, but then excluded a couple odd ball ones.

Since I'll be trying naemo as well, I'm hoping to include the following feature as well:
for regex, the exclude ('!') doesn't work, so you can't say something like e.g. for hosts:
.,!bt.
(include every host, but exclude those starting with bt)
The original patch (never made it into nagios I think) can still be found here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/5338
I updated this patch and sent it to icinga and it got included:
https://dev.icinga.org/issues/3720
So, if you're interested, I can create a patch for naemo as well (or you guys can do it)?

To be fair: I'm not sure about nagios 4, since I switched to icinga some time ago and running the icinga 1.x branch for now. Icinga2 seems to go to a xml-style of config files which imho is not easier to create, so I'm looking at naemon now :-)
However I'm 100% sure it doesn't work in nagios 3.

It doesn't work in Nagios 4 or Naemon either, and patches would be
welcome. I was looking into this exact thing yesterday.

I created a pull request for this, patch to be reviewed of course.
