[BUG] Low modules filtering performance

[BlackGad]

Describe the bug Recently, we encountered a performance issue with Coverlet during our CI pipeline processes.

Before executing dotnet test, we preprocess our CI build files to generate a runsettings file. This file specifies which assemblies to include and exclude based on pattern matching.

The output directory ends up containing over 350 assemblies, including framework ones. Within this, the include section lists 54 patterns in the format [Assembly1]*,[Assembly2]*, while the exclude section contains 301 patterns, also specified in a similar manner.

To Reproduce Setup runsettings file and add Include and Exclude sections. Make sure that output folder contains a lot of modules.

We also discovered this and keep on version 6.0.1 for now. We only have a few exclusions and inclusions but still its a significantly slower then before (x5 times)

Hoping the maintainers of Coverlet are on vacation rather than the repository being inactive. So quietly here.
