Configurable exclusion of temporary files

[stbuehler]

Various programs create temporary files and map / open them:

• Gerrit
  • .../reviewsite/tmp/gerrit_7939865497111433863_app/gerrit-common-server.jar and similar
• Jenkins
  • /tmp/jna--1712433994/jna8262265615257149299.tmp (executable mapping)
  • /tmp/winstone7812778614686151261.jar ("obsolete script file")

It would be nice if one could specify a list of regular expressions to ignore such files; right now I manually ignore m@/tmp/@ in /usr/sbin/needrestart line 438 and in Interp/Java.pm.

It is already possible to configure the blacklist used for the interpreter detection stuff (see also #39). Do you think it is realy required to add such an option for mappings?

[stbuehler]

I guess #39 covers the interpreter files.

You already hardcoded so many special cases, like this:

# skip Oil Runtime Compiler's JIT files
next if($path =~ m@/orcexec\.[\w\d]+( \(deleted\))?$@);

You really think one day you'll get them all? You have some /tmp handling, but it obviously failed JNA. I think it is really time you added a way to configure this blacklist, whether by list of regex or even a hook function.
