dfilter: Add a function-like macro syntax
Add an alternative macro notation as $mymacro(a,b,c,d). For me
this notation is more natural, I have difficulty remembering how
to use macros with ${mymacro:a;b;c} and it makes the filter
expression harder to understand.
For convenience and to simplify the code we also allow
curly braces to open/close macro argument lists and the semicolon
as an argument separator for the new syntax.
This added flexibility may be reevaluated and dropped later if it
turns out to be undesirable for some reason.
