In volatility2, the windows.dumpfiles plugin allows you to filter the dumped files using a regular expression. This PR adds the same functionality to volatility3.
The regular expression is passed in using --regex=REGEX and all files matching REGEX will be dumped. The --ignore-case flag can be passed to make the search case-insensitive. The search is case-sensitive by default. The matching volatility2 functionality can be found here:

Manual testing was performed on windows memory images across different windows versions to verify the expected output.
