    excludefiles: Exclude various common log files when building the appliance.
    
    These log files can get pretty big, and that causes problems
    like this one:
    
    http://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?id=35381
    
    and this one:
    
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099172
    
    In both cases the problem was /var/log/lastlog which is apparently a
    large sparse file.  Supermin cannot cope with sparseness, so it copies
    the whole file non-sparse.  But since this could affect other log
    files this commit covers various common log file names and patterns.
    
    Thanks: semperN
