Ignoring backend-only options - add a `force_exclude_options` plugin option

See original GitHub issue

Right now (v2.0.0-alpha.27) service and message options from .proto files are always generated for ServiceType.

It would be nice to have the ability to ignore all (or blacklist some) options for browser clients if they are used only on the backend.

These options just increase the final bundle size without ever being used or in the worst case can leak some backend implementation details, that shouldn’t be visible on the frontend to everyone.

The official protoc plugin for JS is not including options in the generated files, and I think that this is a reasonable default behaviour.

“force_exclude_all_options” By default, custom options are included in the metadata and can be blacklisted with our option (ts.exclude_options). Set this option if you are certain you do not want to include any options at all.
