Browsing via local:directory:path URIs currently shows all directories under local/media_dir, but returns only files that have been imported via mopidy local scan.
While this is useful for checking for unscanned files, it may be confusing for new users. It may be preferrable to return all files, except those matching local/excluded_file_extensions, with local refs for files already in the database, and plain file refs otherwise. Thus, it would be possible to browse (via "Folders") and play unscanned media files, though searching and browsing via "Artists", "Albums", etc. would still be limited to local files already scanned.
