[Bug 262590] [pf][patch] Anchor "blacklistd/*" not correctly shown in pfctl -a \* -s rules

We don't end up with "anchor parent", we end up with "parent", rather than with
"parent/*": anchor_call does not include the "anchor " part, as far as I can
tell. 

Why wouldn't "parent" be what we want (notice that if you pass something with
'/*" to the next recursive call, you get the error). The stripping of "/*" is
exactly what happens also when parsing the command line arguments and one gives
"-a parent/*".

As for the test scenario, please notice that there is a rule inside child too.

If you don't like the rules that are inside parent but not inside child, you
can ignore them: the issue still exists.

Notice though that there is literally nothing that prevent the situation
specified in the test. 'anchor "parent/*"' in pf.conf just means: evaluate all
the rules in parent and all the rules in any anchor that is a child of parent,
recursively.
