Currently, when calling enable_rule, the provided rule name pattern is a
substring match, that is if the rules file has a rule "My fantastic
rule", and you call engine->enable_rule("fantastic", true), the rule
will be enabled.
This can cause problems if one rule name is a complete subset of another
rule name e.g. rules "My rule" and "My rule is great", and calling
engine->enable_rule("My rule", true).
To allow for this case, add an alternate method enable_rule_exact() in
both default ruleset and ruleset variants. In this case, the rule name
must be an exact match.
In the underlying ruleset code, add a "match_exact" option to
falco_ruleset::enable() that denotes whether the substring is an exact
or substring match.
This doesn't change the default behavior of falco in any way, as the
existing calls still use enable_rule().

A new unit test file test_rulesets adds tests for the following: - enabling/disabling rules based on substrings - enabling/disabling rules based on exact matches - enabling/disabling rules based on tags There are variants that test for default and non-default rulesets.

What this PR does / why we need it:
This adds unit tests for ruleset handling and adds the ability to only allow for exact matches when adding rules to the falco engine. The current behavior matches substrings. This is usually fine but there can be some cases where exact matches are better.
