TOOLS/lua/autoload: add ignore_hidden option

In 8a7614a0fb0d4f1073057049933972bb1113c14c files that start with a '.'
were blacklisted from autoload.lua. Since then
35e8710b86545849484f6544a16047792fa75bb2 was introduced and explicitly
whitelisted file extensions. With this change, there is no longer a
reason to blacklist all files starting with '.', because it is valid to
have a file called '.hidden.mkv', and there is no chance of hidden files
such as '.bashrc', '.DS_STORE', '.gitignore', etc. being autoloaded by
mpv.

This commit tries to keep the same behavior as before, which is to by
default not load hidden files, but allows the user to optionally allow
hidden files to be autoloaded.
