    CLOUDSTACK-9498: VR CsFile search utility methods fail when search st…

    
    There is no real use of python 're' module  in CsFile.py utility methods searchString, deleteLine. Regular string search is sufficient. These methods are used only for VPN user add/delete. Since VPN user password can have python 're' module meta characters, it interfere with search functionality.
    
    Replacing re.search() with regular string search instead.
    
    Change is confined to VPN add/delete users. Have run the test/integration/component/test_vpn_users.py
    
    VPN remote access user limit tests ... === TestName: test_01_VPN_user_limit | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok
    Test create VPN when L2TP port in use ... === TestName: test_02_use_vpn_port | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok
    Test create NAT rule when VPN when L2TP enabled ... === TestName: test_03_enable_vpn_use_port | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok
    Test add new users to existing VPN ... === TestName: test_04_add_new_users | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok
    Test add duplicate user to existing VPN ... === TestName: test_05_add_duplicate_user | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok
    Test as global admin, add a new VPN user to an existing VPN entry ... === TestName: test_06_add_VPN_user_global_admin | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok
    Test as domain admin, add a new VPN user to an existing VPN entry ... === TestName: test_07_add_VPN_user_domain_admin | Status : SUCCESS ===
    ok

> VR CsFile search utility methods fail when search string has char *, + etc.
> These utility methods in CsFile [1] uses python regular expression module to search a string in a file. However, if caller passes a search string, that has chars *, +, . etc that are also happen to be express wild card / match expression in regular expression results in exceptions from python 're' module.
> For instance searching for VPN user [2] passes "username * password *" as search string, if password has chars the interfer with regular expression metacharecters then search will result in exception.
