Add configuration option to specify which dll's to enumerate when using .NET enumerations as datasource

See original GitHub issue

When using .NET enums as data source in a DataList, Contentment enumerates all DLLs in the /bin folder when finding all defined .NET enums.

This can lead to the editor / admin seeing a huge list of .NET enums. In our project it seems to also lead to an error because of DLLs not being the correct version. Although it is not clear to me why we have this error.

I would like to be able to add the names of the DLLs to be enumerated somewhere in a special config section. This way we could tell Contentment to only look in certain DLLs.

It would also be useful to be able to specify wildcards.

Something like this:

<contentment>
  <scanAssembly>
    <add assembly="*" />
    <remove assembly="MyAssembly" />
    <remove assembly="MyAssembly2" />
  </scanAssembly>
</contentment>

In case it helps with making a custom data-source, feel free to take what you need from the Enum data-source code. https://github.com/leekelleher/umbraco-contentment/blob/1.2.1/src/Umbraco.Community.Contentment/DataEditors/DataList/DataSources/EnumDataListSource.cs#L66

Thanks for the console error, I’ll take a look. 👍

This is from the console in dev tools in chromium. I am not sure why it wants a specific version of the dll and other dll’s. Oh, and sorry, it is in danish.
