/**
 * Add custom bot user agents to Top 10's exclusion list.
 *
 * Top 10 already ships with a list of common search crawler user agents.
 * Use this filter to extend it with monitoring services (UptimeRobot, Pingdom,
 * StatusCake) or any internal bots that would otherwise inflate view counts.
 *
 * Each string is matched as a case-insensitive substring against the visitor's
 * user agent, so partial strings are fine.
 *
 * @param array $bot_user_agents List of bot user agent strings.
 *
 * @return array Updated list with custom entries appended.
