Description

Some themes add shortcodes that aren't registered in the proper way, and thus don't get stripped from the post excerpt in our usual way. We could add a filter here to help users avoid having tons of shortcode spit out.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the referenced line in jetpack related posts.php and understand how shortcodes are currently stripped from the post excerpt. Then add a filter to allow custom stripping of shortcodes.
