Add rule for Godot temp extension library copies on Windows

[NoahGreer]

Reasons for making this change

As of Godot 4.2 the editor has a Windows-specific workaround for loading extension libraries. Before the extension library is loaded the Godot editor creates a temp copy of the extension library .dll file with a ~ prefix (e.g. example.dll => ~example.dll). When the extension library is unloaded the Godot editor deletes the temp copy. These copied ~*.dll files are temporary and should be ignored.
