feat: regex support for ecu, apid, ctid

Within filters the ecu, apid and ctid support regex either by:
providing "ecuIsRegex:true, apidIsRegex:true, ctidIsRegex:true" or by
autodetection if the ecu/apid/ctid values include any regex special chars
like '|^$,...".
See docu "Filter reference".

 `ecu` should only be used in cases when you deal with DLT-files that have multiple ECUs logs in the same file. See [configs](configsReference) for an alternative way to quickly disable filters not relevant for the current ECU.
 
+For `apid` and `ctid` the regular expressions are roughly 6 times slower (e.g. 35ns vs 6ns) and should only be used if necessary.

 Payload text checks should use `payloadRegex` instead of `payload` except for the cases where you really do want to search simply for substring somewhere in the payload. The amount of necessary steps during regex comparision are nicely shown on pages like [regex101](https://regex101.com).

+:::tip ecu, apid, ctid regular expressions
+In general the filter for ecu, apid, ctid expect 4 characters. If less characters are used the regex search is different that the default/non-regex ones:
+e.g. 
+version | example | description
+------- | ------- | -----------
+default | `"apid":"ECU"` | default/non-regex matches against `apid ECU\0`. So starting with ECU and then (null byte).
+`"apidIsRegex":true`| `"apid":"ECU"` | regex matches against 'ECU' within apid. So e.g. "ECU1" or "AECU" or "ECU" all match.
+regex | `"apid":"^ECU"` | autodetected regex matches against starting with 'ECU'. So e.g. "ECU" or "ECU1" match  but not "AECU".
+:::

 :::warning
 Especially the `payloadRegex` consists frequently of characters that need to be escaped in JSON.
 If using the DLT filter assistant to create filters this is done automatically. If you modify the JSON settings manually please keep this in mind and escape the strings properly.
