Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page)
31.0.7.1

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This pattern excludes the office temp files created when you have them opened in Windows. Like: ~$myfile.docx

Why exclude these files?
Because sometimes mess things inside the database preventing it to delete, the file manager complains that the user does not have permissions to delete the file but the permissions are correctly configured in the server.

Even with a bash terminal I cannot delete these files because the $ and ~ characters are reserved.

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding ~$ should mitigate this issue.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Add the ~ and $ to the forbidden character filename list in the Nextcloud server as a default configuration.
