> 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.
