Add option to exclude directories with a tagfile

Browse Source 
The option is named --exclude-if-present and accepts a parameter
filename[:content]. Directories are excluded and their contents is not
backed up if they contain a file with the specified name and,
optionally, that starts with the specified content. The tagfile itself
is never excluded.

There is also a shortcut --exclude-caches that works in the same way as
the likewise-named option of tar(1): Directories are recognized as cache
if they contain a file named "CACHEDIR.TAG.

Closes #317.

* A new option `--exclude-caches` was added that allows excluding cache
directories (that are tagged as such). This is a special case of a more
generic option `--exclude-if-present` which excludes a directory if a file
with a specific name (and contents) is present.
