In case of some permanent part of common name (ex. domain) and/or
long complex common name consisting of multiple x509 fields, it's
handly to kill client instances via management interface with just
part of common name, not by exact match only.
Patch allows to use wildcard placeholder '*' as the last trailing
symbol of kill command parameter.
Single '*' wildcard would be too greedy and can be too harmful,
therefore not allowed. Wildcards in the middle of parameter string
are not supported to keep the the things simple at the moment.
