[LBS] Support more precise entries together with "*" in the grey list

Project Member Reported by pastarmovj@chromium.org, Jul 26 2017

Issue description

Currently if the grey list contains a wildcard entry it will be used when matching against the url list and therefore considered less precise. This prevents the following use case:

User doesn't care which browser opens most urls.
User wants example.com to open in the alternative browser.
User wants example.com/site to open in any browser.

To achieve that one would want to have the following policy:

url_list: "example.com"
grey_list: "*", "http://example.com/site", "https://example.com/site".

Currently the "*" entry shadows the other entries and thus they are not considered as more precise than the "url_list" entry.

In general the most precise entry from every supported source should be used to decide which browser is responsible for a given URL.

This is implemented in the current beta LBS 5.4.
