WIP: Wildcard support for entity_id lists

[cdce8p]

Description:

Adding wildcard support through fnmatch pattern for entity_id lists. This could be quite useful for a number of components:

• Groups
• Recorder
• History
• Logbook
• ..

To enable this, the component has to be updated. As an example I included an updated version for the min_max sensor. It probably isn't the most elegant way to do it, but a start. Currently this is a Work in Progress.
