`--exclude` flag could use better documentation about editorconfig-checker HOT 2 OPEN

Yeah, currently only the last -exclude setting gets picked up and any previous setting is silently ignored (NB: no \.rb$ in "Exclude Regexp"):

$ ec -verbose -exclude '\.rb$' -exclude '\.gemspec$'
Exclude Regexp: \.gemspec$|^\.yarn/|^yarn\.lock$|^package-lock\.json$|^composer\.lock$|^Cargo\.lock$|^Gemfile\.lock$|^\.pnp\.cjs$|^\.pnp\.js$|^\.pnp\.loader\.mjs$|\.snap$|\.otf$|\.woff$|\.woff2$|\.eot$|\.ttf$|\.gif$|\.png$|\.jpg$|\.jpeg$|\.webp$|\.avif$|\.mp4$|\.wmv$|\.svg$|\.ico$|\.bak$|\.bin$|\.pdf$|\.zip$|\.gz$|\.tar$|\.7z$|\.bz2$|\.log$|\.patch$|\.css\.map$|\.js\.map$|min\.css$|min\.js$

Ironically, this project's own Makefile doesn't account for this either:

It would be great if multiple -excludes were all picked up and merged into the regexp as alternatives (like the Exclude array in JSON configuration), as many of us would intuitively expect. An inferior alternative (but still better than the current silent "last wins" overwrite) would be to detect multiple -exclude settings and inform the user that only the last one was applied - but I guess that the proper fix of just adding support for multiple -excludes would actually be easier to implement than this ;)

Anyone willing to create a PR for this?
