Description

Checkstyle has an option in it's ant process that allows users to avoid executing modules that have a severity set to ignore. It is called `omitIgnoredModules`. It has been in checkstyle already for atleast 2 years.
See:
https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/blob/2f3f4b76f04f0b5071abcaed54648a49a0db3160/src/main/java/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/ant/CheckstyleAntTask.java#L118

We are in the process of adding this option to our CLI (https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/issues/3566) and would like to see maven-checkstyle-plugin support this feature so users can customize it.

A simple tag for this option like: `<omitIgnoredModules>false</omitIgnoredModules>` would be enough.

Thanks.
