Excluding files from indexing

For example, node_modules

I would particularly like the ability to exclude certain directories from the Problems list (e.g. vendor), while retaining Go to Definition functionality. I'm not sure if that would be considered a separate issue.

#164
Warnings from vendor are already ignored.

Really need this feature hope it comes soon. to make the searching much quicker.

The main use case is to ignore the cache files.

[damienflament]

After seeing the code, the Indexer have to get the excluded path from options and give it to the FileFinder as second parameter. The FileFinder exclude files matching the given Globs.

I think it's the simplest way to do it as trying to compile a glob pattern using the main pattern (which will be dynamically generated due to another feature request) and the excluding patterns seems complicated.

I need to make a development environment and try to submit a PR! When I got free time...

from #381:
I'd like php intellisense to read files.exclude setting + php.excludeFiles (or a similar new config entry) with this value by default

{
  "php.excludeFiles": {
    "**/node_modules": true"
  }
}
