GNU has a very useful third argument to match() but this is not supported
in the POSIX awk. It is a great shame.

Update the code to cope.

Changes in v2:
- Fix the has_var match() that had left-over test code

We need our scripts to be POSIX compliant, that's a feature not a bug
nor something to talk down at.
