Refactors ignore command for staff exemption

Changes the ignore command to use the `essentials.ignore.exempt` permission instead of relying on JPerms for staff identification.

This allows admins to easily configure staff members who cannot be ignored, regardless of their group membership.

Also, ensures that exempted players are automatically unignored by all other players upon joining.
