Feature request: add `--collector.qdisc.device-exclude` option

[Cougar]

This is a feature request for --collector.qdisc.device-exclude and corresponding --collector.qdisc.device-include or similar option for qdisc collector to skip interfaces that does not do any queueing or are dynamic interfaces (like docker veth) and increase Prometheus label cardinality.

That seems reasonable to me

[Cougar]

I think that these errors are also related with docker dynamic interfaces that may disappear during data collection
