autodiscoverExclusions config property

[markchoward7]

Tell us more.

As mentioned in #21347 and to support #25786

Create a new config option called autodiscoverExclusions which works in the same way as autodiscoverFilter, but subtracts matching repositories from the result.

@markchoward7 can you take a look at #24695 and let us know if it would satisfy your use case?

[markchoward7]

Awesome, then I've went ahead and marked this as the answer as I believe it should work.

[rarkins]

Did you test your own PR locally? If so then you should be able to test like locally too

[markchoward7]

I hadn't set up repos to test with, I can probably find some time to do that though.

@rarkins does the negate filter works like that ["mygroup/*", "!not-this-one"]?
According to https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#autodiscoverfilter only a single negate filter can be used and should not be mixed with other filters.

[rarkins]

We'll improve this in the upcoming v38 so that it supports multiple negating filters, and both minimatch and regex
