Option to exclude wifi names (Android) from automatic tests #2550

Use case

User Story: I as a OONI user want to have an option (to)/blocklist wifi names that I do not want the automatic tests to run, because this may be my home wifi or wifis I usually visit, which I know are with few blocks.

The background is simple: In my case when I am at home OONI automatic tests mostly run at night in my wifi (particularly with the default options). I have the feeling this is not really helpful, as at least where I live (Germany) there is not much internet censorship and even if there would be, scanning the same network connection/wifi/provider (etc.) will likely not result in very different results and just seems unnecessary. Also my home wifi has no router doing DNS blocking e.g. As such, I much more would like to scan everything else, including hotel wifis, public wifis or wherever I may be. These often have DNS blocking deployed or other MITM devices, which block some sites they deem are not "safe" etc. Scanning these may be much more helpful. I think…
