Description
`choco pack` tends to be hungry, grabbing everything in the current directory when it is run. It would be useful if there was an `--exclude` command line option similar to what NuGet itself offers. The use case I'm running into is when I need to use `choco pack` manually in a directory for a package normally managed by AU, to avoid picking up the update.ps1 script next to the nupkg file.

Research direction
Start at the choco pack command entry point and compare the requested --exclude behavior with the NuGet behavior referenced in the issue. Use the manual package directory containing update.ps1 as the reproduction case; done means choco pack accepts --exclude and does not include matching files.
