Add support for the --exclude-prefix=PATH option to skip rules whose
path starts with the specified prefix. The option can be specified
multiple times to exclude multiple path prefixes.
The -E flag is a shortcut for:
--exclude-prefix=/dev --exclude-prefix=/proc \
--exclude-prefix=/run --exclude-prefix=/sys
This is useful to avoid creating files below virtual or memory-backed
file system mount points.
