Allow both list and glob matching

[mitar]

Currently, one can or do a list matching or glob matching, but not both at the same time. But commas are not so common in server names, so I think that we could have both at the same time. This is at least what in most cases I would need. A simply way to list servers and sometimes to use some wildcard. I managed to implement this pretty easily in Python:

def match(servers, minion_id):
  for server_glob in servers.split(','):
    if fnmatch.fnmatch(minion_id, server_glob):
      return True

  return False

Can you not do this with compound match?

salt -C L@minion1,minion2 or www* test.ping

I guess I am just asking for alternative syntax. :-) Which is somewhere in between of all-powerful compound match and just a fixed list.

I don't see a reason we couldn't allow the list to be a list of globs.

I assumed this would work (list matching with globs) and was disappointed when it didn't.
