Describe the feature/enhancement

As a user running audiobookshelf on a NAS I would like to be able to ignore all folders matching a certain expression.

For instance on Synology devices with Universal search enabled, a directory "@eaDir" is created inside the folders of my audiobooks.

Placing an ".ignore" file into each subfolder is quite a hassle, especially when migrating larger libraries to audiobookshelf. That's why I would like an option for administrators to provide multiple expressions to filter out matching folders in general. Either via the settings page or via environment variables. For a MVP simple matching would be sufficient and RegEx expressions would not be needed.

The consensus was that we add support for a .absignore file similar to .plexignore. This was discussed #1641 so will use that as the main thread
