TOOLS/lua/autoload: add ignore_pattern option

Autoload script can now exclude certain files

Why? Sometimes you want to ignore thumbnails,
auto-generated backups or just unwanted files

A non-exhaustive list of real-world examples:
- user backup files: '%.bak%.mp4$' or '^bak-'
- telegram-desktop thumbnails: '_thumb%.jpg$'
- a krita graphics editor backup suffix: '^~'
