projectile `projectile-ripgrep` do not search into hidden files

The default behavior of ripgrep is to not search into hidden files (files beginning with a dot) by default. As a result, using projectile-ripgrep do not search into hidden files. This is from my point of view an unexpected behavior in the context of a project search.

Expected behavior

projectile-ripgrep should search into hidden files by default.

Actual behavior

projectile-ripgrep ignore hidden files.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Search with projectile-ripgrep a patterm you have in a hidden file of your project. You will not found it in the results.

Perhaps it'd be nice to introduce some defcustom controlling this behaviour for all search backends. I'd rather not hardcode this, as I assume different people have different expectations.

I believe that .git directories should still be excluded as

alias rg="rg --hidden --glob '!.git'"

though. For details see https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/623.
