Add configurable window/application exclusion

Thanks a lot for the great tool, I'm really enjoying it!

I was thinking that it would give me and others that share the same paranoia revolving around screen recording some peace of mind if there would be a setting to filter/exclude specific applications/windows. One example would be the password manager app.

As far as I understand, all the prerequisites are already in the code base, you are simply not passing any exceptingWindows or excludingApplications to the SCContentFilter here:

Dayflow/Dayflow/Dayflow/Core/Recording/ScreenRecorder.swift

Lines 221 to 223 in d1ba920

	let filter = SCContentFilter(display: display,
	excludingApplications: [],
	exceptingWindows: [])

@aamnakhan Generally more useful (and less noisy) than a +1 comment is clicking the upvote button on the discussion / comment:
