Allow Builder to ignore certain files when responding to Github webhooks

[christophermaier]

Currently, you can specify fileglobs in .bldr.toml what determine when to trigger a build; if a changed file matches the glob, build.

Sometimes, though, it can be useful to specify the inverse. A commit that consists of only a README change, for example, shouldn't be creating a new package.

We should have a way to express this in .bldr.toml

Would we prefer to make everything explicit, or would an implicit (but overridable) policy of never triggering for changes to certain globs such as *.md be good?

I figure that might avoid a lot of unnecessary work without requiring as much configuration effort for each builder package.

I think it's a little bit too "magic" that somebody would need to know what the default whitelist is. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of trying to debug a build that isn't triggering because content that is inlined into my code but stored as an .md.

It'd be perfectly reasonable to include a default whitelist in a generated .bldr.toml for somebody, though!
