[PATCH v4 07/15] Documentation: avoid "uninteresting"

From

The documentation of --boundary uses the term "uninteresting", which is not used or defined anywhere else in the documentation. This is unhelpful and confusing to anyone who hasn't seen the UNINTERESTING flag in the source code.

Change to use "excluded", as per revisions.txt.
