It appears nav_exclude only works on top level navigation items. I needed it to work at the child level as well. I believe these changes accomplish that for the child and grand_child levels.

Love this theme. I've used it a few times. Apologies if this pull request is not according to convention. This is the first time I've done it on someone else's code. Thanks!

Restrict navigation to display only direct children.

Separating new PR from #188, since indpendent.

The current default is that when a grandparent is selected, the links to its
children *and all its grandchildren* are displayed in the navigation menu.
Setting `grandchildren_branch: true` in `_config.yml` delays the display of links
to grandchildren until their parent is selected.

A `navigation-list-child-list` is not displayed unless the enclosing `navigation-list-item` is `active`, so it needs to be generated only when `page.url == node.url or page.parent == node.title or page.grand_parent == node.title`.
