Introduce the Strategy pattern for wildcard manipulation

Hey @estaylorco! You can actually do this now with Postal. The actual bindings resolver can be swapped out. In this case, its more than just a RegEx… its actually a regular expression that is built up based on the original input subscription topic with wildcards, etc.

Just to show you quickly how it works, I put together a sample JSFiddle. I lifted the resolver out of Postal, and made just enough edits to make it work for your use case. The important piece is where I assign the new resolver to Postal:

postal.configuration.resolver = bindingsResolver;

Hopefully that should help you get started writing your own resolver, or editing the existing one to your needs.

@dcneiner That's awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for. I was dreading converting all of my channels and topics to the "." pattern. Thanks so much!
