[GNC] Wildcard in standard report definiton

There's mechanism for printing report settings, but it's only enabled in 
the Transaction Report (General / Add options summary).

Import/Export of settings is more difficult because many options are 
datafile-specific eg selection of accounts, report currency. The current 
saved-reports mechanism is already less than ideal because they're saved 
centrally and are not very easily portable across machines, and IMHO 
should really specific to a datafile.

With regard to selecting a 'wildcard' type of accounts selection, it's a 
good entry-level idea for a budding scheme hacker :)
