V3 changes to make external usage easier

[Claudenw]

Fix for #276 and #279 on V3

This change:

• Adds a public String source() method to MatchPattern to return the "source" instance value.
• Makes public MatchPattern method static String[] tokenizePathToString(String path, String separator)
• Adds public List sources() method to MatchPatterns that to return a list of MatchPattern.source() for each enclosed pattern.
• Makes public SelectorUtils static boolean isAntPrefixedPattern() method
• Makes public SelectorUtils static boolean isRegexPrefixedPattern() method
• Adds a SelectorUtils public static String extractPattern(final string pattern, final String separator) method to extract a simplified pattern without the Ant or Regex prefix and with the Ant path modified by a call to toOSRelatedPath to ensure that it is properly formatted.

@slachiewicz if we can get these enhancements in Apache Rat can go back to using this library rather than carrying our own implementations. Your assistance is appreciated.

Would You be able to add some tests?

[Claudenw]

Absolutely. I will work on them today, when I get time from my actual work.

[Claudenw]

I added the tests and think I found a but as noted in #279

If there is agreement that is a bug, I can fix it as part of this and PR 278

[Claudenw]

@slachiewicz I have added tests to both the V3 and V4 pull requests as well as fixes for #279
