[PATCH v2 10/14] For each exclude pattern, store information about where it came from

For exclude patterns read in from files, the filename is stored together with the corresponding line number (counting starting at 1).

For exclude patterns provided on the command line, the sequence number is negative, with counting starting at -1, so for example the 2nd pattern provided via --exclude would be numbered -2. This allows any future consumers of that data to easily distinguish between exclude patterns from files vs. from the CLI.
