[MainUI] Add support for wild card thing status triggerd.

[rkoshak]

The problem

Apparently wild card Thing triggers has been supported for a couple of years. See openhab/openhab-core#2832.

However, the only way to use one within MainUI is by manually editing the "thingUID" field of the trigger on the code tab. If you select the "empty" Thing at the top of the list when creating the trigger you only have the option for "trigger channels":

So to make it work one must select any random Thing and then click the code tab and edit it with the wildcard search string:

triggers:
  - id: "3"
    configuration:
      thingUID: chromecast:audiogroup:*
    type: core.ThingStatusChangeTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      type: application/javascript
      script: console.info("A thing changed status");
    type: script.ScriptAction

Your suggestion

First, I think that first entry in the list of Things might be a bug. I can't see any way to make anything work at all after selecting that from the list.

Beyond that, one way to implement this might be to change that "empty" thing to become "All Things" and when that is selected, provide the option to enter a search string/filter to match only those Things desired (e.g. all the chromecast Things as I've done above).

Additional information

I don't think console logs from the browser are relevant but can provide them if needed.
