Instead of desperately cleaning zombies that are popping up again and again,
I'd prefer an option with a list of directories that should be never added
to the project list.  Or maybe improve 'project-forget-projects-under' to
remember what projects it forgot to not add them again, e.g.
by a new property in ~/.emacs.d/projects file:

(("/dir1" (forgotten . t))
 ...)
