org-make-tags-matcher: Add starred property operators, fix quoting 

* lisp/org.el (org-make-tags-matcher): Add starred property operators.
Recognize additional operators "==", "!=", "/=".  Clean up and
document match term parsing.  Remove needless and buggy unquoting of
minus characters in property and tag names.
(org-op-to-function): Recognize additional inequality operator "/=".

* doc/org-manual.org (Matching tags and properties): Add documentation
on starred and additional operators.  Document allowed characters in
property names and handling of minus characters in property names.

* testing/lisp/test-org.el (test-org/map-entries): Add tests for
starred and additional operators.  Add tests for property names
containing minus characters.

* etc/ORG-NEWS: (~org-tags-view~ supports more property operators):
Add announcement on starred and additional operators.

@ -9246,16 +9246,18 @@ When matching properties, a number of different operators can be used
to test the value of a property. Here is a complex example:
#+begin_example
+work-boss+PRIORITY="A"+Coffee="unlimited"+Effort<2

+With={Sarah\|Denny}+SCHEDULED>="<2008-10-11>"

The type of comparison depends on how the comparison value is written:
- If the comparison value is a plain number, a numerical comparison is
done, and the allowed operators are =<=, ===, =>=, =<==, =>==, and
=<>=.
=<>=. As a synonym for the equality operator ===, there is also
====; =!== and =/== are synonyms of the inequality operator =<>=.
- If the comparison value is enclosed in double-quotes, a string
comparison is done, and the same operators are allowed.
@ -9273,6 +9275,13 @@ The type of comparison depends on how the comparison value is written:
is performed, with === meaning that the regexp matches the property
value, and =<>= meaning that it does not match.
- All operators may be optionally followed by an asterisk =*=, like in
=<*=, =!=*=, etc. Such /starred operators/ work like their regular,
unstarred counterparts except that they match only headlines where
the tested property is actually present. This is most useful for
search terms that logically exclude results, like the inequality
operator.
So the search string in the example finds entries tagged =work= but
not =boss=, which also have a priority value =A=, a =Coffee= property
with the value =unlimited=, an =EFFORT= property that is numerically
@ -9280,6 +9289,28 @@ smaller than 2, a =With= property that is matched by the regular
expression =Sarah\|Denny=, and that are scheduled on or after October
11, 2008.
Note that the test on the =EFFORT= property uses operator =<*=, so
that the search result will include only entries that actually have an
=EFFORT= property defined and with numerical value smaller than 2.
With the regular =<= operator, the search would handle entries without
an =EFFORT= property as having a zero effort and would include them in
the result as well.
Currently, you can use only property names including alphanumeric
characters, underscores, and minus characters in search strings. In
addition, if you want to search for a property whose name starts with
a minus character, you have to "quote" that leading minus character
with an explicit positive selection plus character, like this:
#+begin_example
+-long-and-twisted-property-name-="foo"
#+end_example
#+texinfo: @noindent
Without that extra plus character, the minus character would be taken
to indicate a negative selection on search term
=long-and-twisted-property-name-​="foo"=.
You can configure Org mode to use property inheritance during
a search, but beware that this can slow down searches considerably.
See [[*Property Inheritance]], for details.
