Exclusion Optimizations: follow-up to (#423)

Follow-up to #408 - optimized exclusion filtering:
- use zscan with default count instead of ordered scan to remvoe
- use glob match when possible (non-regex as determined by string check)
- move isInScope() check to worker to avoid creating a page and then
closing for every excluded URL
- tests: update saved-state test to be more resilient to delays

args: also support '--text false' for backwards compatibility, fixes
