Added option to exclude certain characters in password generation
The code now supports the configuration parameter 'ExcludeChars', which gives users the ability to specify particular characters that should not be included in the generated passwords. This addition was fully implemented both on config.go and random.go, while the relevant option flag was also added to apg.go for user interaction.
