Code scanners should exclude META-INF by default

See original GitHub issue

Scanners that are only supposed to scan code (and not resources) should by default have a path filter to exclude the META-INF directory. Otherwise, if logging is enabled, the log gets cluttered with output like

09:38:56.774 [main] DEBUG org.reflections.Reflections - could not scan file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in url file:/.../annotations-13.0.jar with scanner SubTypesScanner
09:38:56.774 [main] DEBUG org.reflections.Reflections - could not scan file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in url file:/.../annotations-13.0.jar with scanner TypeAnnotationsScanner

for a simple call to getSubTypesOf().

I came across same issue, seeing exceptions when debug enabled, and this got fixed after upgrading to 0.9.12. Hope this helps someone…! Main issue was in 0.9.11 scan method had : if (scanner.acceptsInput(path) || scanner.acceptResult(fqn)) and in 0.9.12 it is changed to: if (scanner.acceptsInput(path) || scanner.acceptsInput(fqn))
