[Aide] Rules to exclude all files except one

[Brian Mathis]

No, that doesn't work because the ! rule still matches the onefile rule, so
it is excluded.  This can be seen when running with -V250:

    "/opt/app/dir" matches rule from line #131: ^/opt/app/dir
    /opt/app/dir match=0, tree=0x7fc395d8f780, attr=0
    "/opt/app/dir/onefile" matches rule from line #132:
^/opt/app/dir/onefile
    "/opt/app/dir/onefile" matches rule from line #131: ^/opt/app/dir
    /opt/app/dir/onefile match=0, tree=0x7fc395d8f780, attr=0
