Add more control over which users will never have their access licenses released

[mountaindude]

Currently (v12.1) it is possible to state specific users (in the config file) that will be excluded from license releases.

Would be useful to expand this with additional filters/criteria.
For example, never release users...

• that are tagged with a certain tag
• that has a custom property set to a certain value
• that reside in a certain user directory
• that are active (=not active). I.e. users with QMC column Inactive set to No
• that are not blocked. I.e. users with QMC column Blocked set to No
• that are not removed externally. I.e. users with QMC column Removed externally set to No

Also add a dry-run option. When set to true, information about licenses releases would be written to the log, but no releases would actually be done. Useful when testing and refining the license release configuration.

The config settings for this could look like below.
Note that this would be a change from current config file format.

Butler:

  # Settings for monitoring Qlik Sense licenses
  qlikSenseLicense:

    licenseRelease:
      enable: true 
      dryRun: true               # true/false. If true, Butler will not actually release any licenses, just log what it would have done. 
                                 # Useful when refining license release settings.

      neverRelease:
