Enhancement Request: Enable IP exclusions in Jetpack Stats for cached environments

What

Support IP exclusions in Jetpack Stats with cached sites

How

The current implementation of the jetpack_stats_excluded_ips filter does not work for sites using caching, as the logic to exclude IPs relies on dynamically determining visitor IP addresses before serving the tracking script. Cached pages bypass this logic, resulting in the inability to exclude specific IPs from being tracked.

This issue was initially reported by a user on an Atomic site (ephillc.com) reported here: https://github.com/Automattic/jpop-issues/issues/9399, but affects all users relying on caching for performance.

This was initially reported by a user and here's the follow-up ticket where we let them know: 9226409-zd-a8c
