Windows GUI: SemanticSCM: Implemented a mechanism to disable Semantic Diff for certain file extensions.

Semantic diff will be disabled for files whose path matches any of those patterns.
Example: Having the following semanticexcluded.conf file:
*.h /src/core
The semantic diff won't be displayed for the following items (server path format):
/lib/headers/core.h /kernel/kernel.h /src/core/main.cpp /src/core/modules/network.c
