Enhancement: add general exclusions to settings upload processing

[js3110]

Description

General exclusions are included in the settings file, but their upload is not handled within the app. We need to inlcude the general exclusions processing in the setup, so if they are present in the settings file they are then processed accordingly.

Definition of Done

The requirements for the feature to be complete:

• General exclusions handled in settings upload
• Settings are populated as they were in settings file
