This fixes #545 by moving user home directory filters to be placed after the defaults, I also removed exclude_list_default_extra as it was made redundant in #342.
Since this only moves the home directory entries listed under the "Users" tab in the settings page, all other custom filters still take priority over the defaults.

exclude_list_default_extra used to take priority over exclude_list_user, this is no longer the case and so there is no reason to keep the list seperate from exclude_list_default
Also note that exclude_list_default_extra used to be ignored when running --clone, however that apparently isn't a supported feature anymore according to https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift/blob/aaff762ce2dc42e799176fff5d6effb8063fcb67/src/AppConsole.vala#L379 and just gets treated as --restore
All other user specified filters are kept at top priority so if a user still wants to back up their cache folder they can still add a specific filter for that.
