What does this PR do?

Currently, the filtering of events was limited to a toggle which turned on/off categories of events with no granular control of specific events to be sent.

Description of the Change

Filtering is done by adding names for all the events and having users manually write include/exclude lists of specific events that they do/don't want. The higher level control of the toggles are still available but more specific include/excludes can be done with these lists. The config changed event was also removed completely as this event was blocked by the events team.
