Description

When using the taildir to monitor a directory, hidden files in the directory are tailed by the source.
As the hidden files are always temp files of vim, etc. So it's necessary to ignore the hidden file when using the taildir source.

Now Add a new configuration option named "ignoreHiddenFile", and the default value is "false". When set it to "true", the hidden file will be ingored.
