How to ignore some composers

This change is now available in MinimServer update 125.

Edit 1: Actually, this change didn't make it into update 125 and I don't think it could be done without adding significant complexity to the implementation and also affecting scanning performance for the vast majority of tagUpdate files that don't contain trailing blanks. This is because tagUpdate processing is done before leading and trailing blanks are stripped from tag values. For these reasons, I think it would be better to leave things as they are for now and require the tagUpdate value to match the tag value exactly, including any leading and trailing blanks if present.

Edit 2: On further investigation, the change is there in update 125 but it won't work as intended in some cases because of the order of processing (see Edit 1 above). For example, if the actual tag has a trailing blank and the corresponding tagUpdate line also has a trailing blank, MinimServer update 125 won't match the tagUpdate line with the actual tag. This is because at the time that the matching comparison is done, the trailing blank has been stripped from the tagUpdate line but has not yet been stripped from the actual tag. I will give this some further thought.
