NVDA should skip disabled add-ons when creating portable or system copies #9020

There is another issue similar to this one open, but it only covers system config and it seems to have not been looked at. Since the disabled add-ons facility was recently added, I figured why not bring this up? I'd like to see this in 2018.4.
I, and some other users probably, have some large add-ons such as vocalizer or acapella voices, or other synth drivers and such I do not need on portable copies for school computers. In order to skip copying those now and taking forever to do so, I must cut the add-ons into a temporary storage folder and restart NVDA, create the copy, put them back and restart again. Since we have a facility to disable add-ons I thought why not simply skip copying them if they are disabled? Still requires a restart but you don't have to manually move things around. The same should apply to system config when copying add-ons, I don't need most of my add-ons in system config but I might need a few, like some people need remote, or my primary synth driver, etc.
