tests: ensure regexes match to the end of the string

Regular expressions in the test suite are currently written assuming
that you need a trailing ".*" to avoid matching to the end.

Instead of matching regular expressions using "^pattern", this patch
makes matching more restrictive by matching "^pattern$".
