Subject: Added `easytags_ignored_filetypes` option

While writing a LaTeX document I found out that Exuberant Ctags was
corrupting my tags file by writing invalid entries. Because half my
self-developed Vim plug-ins deal with Exuberant Ctags integration
which I use constantly this broke my whole environment :-)

Since the main point of easytags.vim is to fully automate tags
generation, corrupt files that need to be repaired by hand are
unacceptable. Therefor I've added an option to enable ignoring selected
file types and defined the default to exclude `*.tex` files.

If you disagree with me, feel free to set the option
`easytags_ignored_filetypes` to an empty string,
in which case no file types will be ignored.
