Improve config file to support exclusion of data types during mirror #73

Open noblem opened 6 years ago

noblem commented 6 years ago

In May of 2018 the GDC starting serving pathology images/reports (Data Type: Slide Image, Data Format: SVS). Because they are huge I've added code directly to lib/api.py:get_project_files to avoid downloading them for now, but a better way to do it would be to have them excluded by config file. This is a placeholder for that effort, which s/b considered a high priority.
