    Add note to background fetch about include/exclude (#7343)
    
    The include configuraton directive for background fetch is a bit
    confusing, in that it requires a corresponding exclude directive.
    That is, its used as an exemption mechanism to an exclude
    directive.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 2c9d4c753aa5b946acc7876618f611dfd53203f1)
