Description

Pre-3.2.0, dependencies that were used only in test scope but not declared in test scope (most likely declared in compile scope) were accepted by the plugin and not flagged as a problem.

Starting with 3.2.0 (and the current 3.3.0), these are reported with "Non-test scoped test only dependencies found". If the scope of the dependencies can not be changed (there are many reasons for that in large projects), the old behavior can be restored by adding each flagged dependency to the "ignoredNonTestScopedDependencies" configuration option in the respective project.

This is, especially in large projects, cumbersome and brittle.

There should be a boolean flag, "ignoreAllNonTestScoped" that, when set, allows ignoring non-test scoped dependencies if they are used only in test scope. This flag restores the pre-3.2.0 behavior.
