Exclude some paths in `workspaces`

[malomarrec]

User problem

When creating batch changes in a monorepo, with workspaces defined with rootatLocationOf, I want to exclude some workspaces by name

For example, in soourcegraph-examples, the spec below returns these 3 workspaces, but I want to exclude the "example" directory

workspaces:
- rootAtLocationOf: package.json

Solutions considered

• Add a rootAtQuery (instead of rootAtLocationOf).

Received another customer request to fix this issue. This fix will be really helpful for the batch change operations on their monorepo.
