The test driver compares command-line arguments against test names
it finds on disk. Using Python's "fnmatch" for this nicely handles
wildcards, but is relatively slow. For given test names that don't
contain any '*', we can use string equality testing, which is much
faster.
Example: the time to evaluate
tools/run-tests.py --arch x64 --mode release \
$(grep 'object-spread' -l -r test/test262/data/test/ | \
sed -E 's|\.js$||' | \
sed -E 's|^test/test262/data/test/|test262/|')
goes from "I gave up and killed the process after several minutes"
to a couple of seconds with this patch.
