[PATCH 4/9] Refactor excluded_from_list

From

The excluded function uses a new helper function called exclude_from_list_1() to perform the inner loop over all of the exclude patterns. The helper just tells us whether the path is included, excluded, or undecided.

However, it may be useful to know _which_ pattern was triggered. So let's pass out the entire exclude match, which contains the status information we were already passing out.

Further patches can make use of this.

This is a modified forward port of a patch from 2009 by Jeff King: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108815
