Better docs for EXCLUDES_LIST and virtualenv naming about zappa HOT 4 CLOSED

Not totally fixed, but latest code will now print a warning if this is happening.

I think the best solution is just to explicitly define 'project_name' in your Zappa settings, or have a differently named venv. Annoyingly, you have to recreate it, you can't just rename virtualenvironments.
