Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Implement _ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS

_ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS is a list of paths (separated by colons, `:`, on
Unix-based systems, and semicolons, `;`, on Windows) that should be
excluded from the database. Example:

    _ZO_EXCLUDE_DIRS="$HOME:$HOME/something/super/secret:$HOME/caused/by/background/cds"
