Is there any way to configure emacs so that the completion for find-file,
find-file-at-point, and others respect the FIGNORE environment variable,
and so ignore "undesired" files?

You can do something like

  (dolist (ext (split-string (getenv "FIGNORE") ":"))
    (add-to-list 'completion-ignored-extensions ext))
