Add an environment variable to let us exclude crate IDs from the recent downloads list

[carols10cents]

I haven't figured out a great way to add a test for this because I need to create a crate and get a crate ID and then change the app's config, and the test app doesn't easily have this... so I thought I'd throw up this change for discussion and see if anyone had better ideas.

would it be possible to filter by crate name instead? or is the name not available in that table?

[carols10cents]

The query does join to the crates table, so the crate name is available

[Turbo87]

in that case I think you can start a test app with a random crate name in the new config value and then create that crate after the app has started, right?

[Turbo87]

given that the particular crate now has almost 1/4 of the downloads of bitflags in total, do we also want to exclude it from the "Most downloaded" list?

Good calls. Updated!

looks great, thank you!

one potential follow up: we allow the users to view the list of crates sorted by downloads too, but we don't exclude the crates there. I'm not sure how or if we should deal with that too.

merging anyways since this is a good first step :)
