bug: eza hides files beginning with __ for python projects on Windows

[jack-mil]

Python developers will know that 'dunder' files are common in python projects (__init__.py, __main__.py, _private_module.py, etc).
On Windows, eza consideres files starting with a underscore (_) as a hidden 'dotfile', and does not list them by default.

Technically, this is not actually a bug, as I have seen the code and PR's that added this feature.
But I think we would all agree this is undesired behavior and a common occurance for lots of (python) developers?

Seemingly 'missing' files beginning with _ has annoyed me more often then it's been useful hiding files I don't want to see.
(I don't think I have ever encountered a file on Windows starting with _ that should be hidden. Though I have certainly spent too long trying to ignore all the garbage files Windows likes to throw in my $HOME)

Just my 2 cents here but in my opinion this "feature" is more confusing than useful.
I think the times where some Applications used the _ as pseudo hidden prefix are mostly behind us. (At least I know of no Application which still does this)
It would not be that big of a problem disabling this. (May still be a breaking change though see xkcd 1172 😅 )

I'll open a PR removing this. But I think some of the maintainer may want to weigh in here

For what it's worth, as a Windows user I do find this behaviour very surprising. No other tool I've used considers them hidden. And I can't think of a situation where I've wanted them to be.
