Feature Request: Advanced Mode for Exclude Rules

The current exclude rule UI requires adding and editing each rule one by one.

When there are many exclude patterns, this becomes quite tedious.

It would be great to have an Advanced Mode that allows users to directly edit/paste multiple exclude rules at once, for example:

node_modules
*.pyc
.DS_Store
*.tmp
*.temp
*.Trash

This would make it much easier to manage a large number of exclude rules, especially when importing or maintaining an existing Restic exclude list.

Thanks!
