GN_Wsm, match filename segment to wildcard string

RST 20H, DEFW $5C09

IN:

     HL = 0,1,2; not allowed
     HL = pointer to wildcard string (must be > 255)
     DE = pointer to buffer for filename (must be > 255)
OUT, if call matched:
     Fz = 1
     HL = pointer to wildcard separator
     DE = pointer to filename separator
OUT, if call not matched:
     Fz = 0
     HL = HL(in)
     DE = DE(in)
Registers changed after return:
     ..BC..../IXIY same
     AF..DEHL/.... different
Notes:
This matches (or attempts) a single segment of a filename. Assumes that both the wildcard and the match string do not index the prefix characters (":", "/" or "\").
