In add_text.py there is -except param and in replace.py there is an -excepttext param, which are the exact opposite of -grep param in global page generator filters. Move it from these locations to global page generator params and perhaps rename it to -grep:not (similar to -ns:not).
Also note that there could be other similar parameters in other scripts, this option should replace them all (just maybe in multiple commits)

[pywikibot/core@master] Move -except and -excepttext to global page generator filters
-excepttext from replace.py has a different meaning which depends on the -regex Option. Probably this task is valid for add_text only.
