[issue1738] filecmp.dircmp does exact match only

New submission from Oliver Nelson:

dircmp's ignore and hide list only take exact files to ignore, not unix
filename pattern's.  This means you can't hide/ignore *.bak or something
similar.  Changing the _filter function adds this:

def newfilter(flist, skip):
  for pattern in skip:
    flist = list(ifilterfalse(fnmatch.filter(flist,
pattern).__contains__, flist))
  return flist
