Request: Player whitelist or blacklist

I don't want to scrobble from every player that sends mpris signals, so it would be helpful to read from the config file either a player whitelist or blacklist. In a little applet I use for displaying the currently played track, I use the following:

PLAYER_BLACKLIST_REGEXP = r'Gwenview|plasma-browser-integration|mpv|chromium\.instance'

This is then checked against the beginning of the player's broadcasted name (as returned by playerctl) so that my applet can ignore anything from those players.

I think for rescrobbled, a whitelist probably makes more sense and would be simpler to implement (no real need for regex matching, just literal full matches).

Thank you for the suggestion! An optional whitelist sounds like a good idea to add.

I've implemented this in #23! Thanks again for the suggestion.
