For clarification, prepending the filter string with "-" should invert the filter, meaning every message that does *not* match the entered string.
The "-" operator should also work together with filtering tags requested in bug 1420689.

I've split out the regex filter option to bug 1441079, so this one can focus on the negation operator.

TIL Network panel filtering already supports this.

This was readded to the patch list after being backed out for some reason.
