Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use floccus for bookmark and session management, which means that bookmarks are created/removed based on my open tabs. I've recently installed Activities and noticed that there is always an event created when either creating or removing a bookmark. This results in a massive number of events as tabs are synced and removed.

(Ignore the blank names, that will be fixed next release)

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to exclude some folders from having activities created when bookmarks inside them (including subfolders specifically for floccus since intermediate folders are created for each window) are created/removed/etc.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating where bookmark creation and removal produce Activities events, then trace how folder paths and subfolders are represented; done means users can exclude selected folders and their subfolders from those events, including events from floccus-managed folders.
