Description

Describe the bug Dear Opengrok Developers,

There're some dirs, for example the "out" dir in AOSP project, in my project that i do not want opengrok to index. Is there any method to exclude these dirs?

Thanks a lot!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how OpenGrok currently handles project configuration and indexing exclusions. Look for existing ignore patterns (like global ignore) and extend to per project. Consider updating the configuration format and indexing logic.
