When a form indicates --do_not_change-- as, for example, QA contact, the
wildcard feature complains that the string did not match anything.  This is true
even in wildcard mode where there shoudl be no reason for wildcard to look
anything up unless there is a "*" in it.
The right thing to do for this is probably for the patch not to judge if a
string matches nothing.  If a string cannot find a record, it can be left
untouched just as if the wildcard patch had not existed.

This patch compares the value of the 'dontchange' field passed by the form to
the field in question to determine whether it should be skipped over.  Same way
process_bug.cgi does it.
