Exclude lists

To exclude certain URLs from being tracked, set the environment variable ``OTEL_PYTHON_REQUESTS_EXCLUDED_URLS``

For example,

export OTEL_PYTHON_REQUESTS_EXCLUDED_URLS="client/.*/info,healthcheck"
will exclude requests such as ``https://site/client/123/info`` and ``https://site/xyz/healthcheck``.
