Wildcard support for process names in Conflicting Processes Merged

Currently, conflicting process detection in Patch My PC requires exact executable names. Adding wildcard support (e.g., adobeupdater*.exe) would improve flexibility and reduce installation issues caused by versioned or localized processes. This is especially useful for vendors like Adobe, which often have multiple similarly-named executables.
