The method checks, whether the $category is ignored according to $ignoreCategories array.

Examples:

- `myapp` - will be ignored only `myapp` category;
- `myapp*` - will be ignored by all categories beginning with `myapp` (`myapp`, `myapplication`, `myapprove`, `myapp/widgets`, `myapp.widgets`, etc).

@param string $category category that is checked
@param array $ignoreCategories message categories to ignore.
@return bool
