deploy.conf: lock in data/ excludes — rsync had wiped real call records

After today's data-loss incident (prod's calls.json was overwritten by
local test fixture during an earlier rsync --delete), reinforce the
RSYNC_EXTRA_EXCLUDES list and document the why so a future deploy.conf
diff doesn't quietly drop the excludes again.

Restored 4 Wells Fargo records from ~/Desktop/butlr-calls-LATEST.json
in the prior deploy.
