Fixed #15954 - New IGNORABLE_404_URLS setting that allows more powerful filtering of 404s to ignore
Thanks to aaugustin for implementing this.
(Technically this doesn't fix the original report, as we've decided against
having *any* default values, but the new feature makes it possible, and the
docs have an example addressing #15954).
