[nicl] Adding --exclude-symbols option to jextract tool

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

This looks good - few comments:

* would it make sense to have, in addition to exclude-symbols, also an 
include-symbols?

* I think Predicate<String> works just as well - you don't really need 
the SymbolFilter interface (a similar argument could also apply to 
SymbolChecker).

* Since there's a lot of shared stuff between Context and HeaderFile, 
and given that HeaderFile takes in a Context object anyway - how about 
accessing checker and filters directly from the context, instead of 
passing them as constructor arguments?

Cheers
Maurizio
