... to support numeric matching after captured field. Fixes bug #871 .
Before, an input regexp of "collectd.mycluster-<location>\d+.app.requests" in aggregation-rules.conf, with a hostname of "mycluster-paris105" would capture "paris10" as the location, instead of paris. With a large cluster this would create a whole lot of aggregates, one per 10 nodes.
This patch makes the <location> match not greedy, letting the user-supplied \d+ side to be greedy and eat the 105 away fully, leaving "paris" as the location.
