Distinguish qBittorrent and Cleanuparr pattern syntax in README

qBittorrent's excluded file names field uses Qt glob wildcards only.
The regex: prefix is supported by Cleanuparr's Malware Blocker but
not by qBittorrent. Split the Pattern syntax section into two
subsections documenting each consumer's capabilities and recommend
wildcards as the safe default for all entries.

qBittorrent supported wildcards (Qt glob):

  •    - zero or more characters

? - exactly one character
[abc] - one character from the set
[a-z] - one character in the range
[!abc] - one character NOT in the set
literal - exact match

Cleanuparr Malware Blocker additionally supports:
regex: - full regex matching

Blacklist audit: all 850 upstream entries conform to qBittorrent
wildcard syntax. One upstream oddity (*.izma ace with embedded space)
is harmless.
