Add a way to exclude file/folder names from being accepted into a mounted remote?

Feature
1

Greetings! I want to suggest a feature to exclude certain file or folder names rom being accepted in a remtoe that is mounted as a drive. For example, if I don't want folders that end in *.tmp from being created in the mount, there should be a flag for it kinda like --exclude or --exclude-from.

you can do that today with the filtering on the mount.

Oh that's awesome! I didn't see the mount command mentioned once in the filtering docs so I thought it wasn't implemented yet

So I tried mounting Google Drive on Windows with these in an excludes.txt file loaded via --exclude-from=

System Volume Information/
*.tmp/

This seems to work in sync but in mount these folders still end up getting created by the system and showing up on the Google Drive web interface. I wanted to have rclone reject these folders or discard them when they're written to the mounted drive
