Description

Maven has a missing feature in not supporting "runtime-test" scope, which is a good candidate for junit5 engine artifact `org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine`.

Because I don't want this to be scoped as "runtime" (for obvious reasons) I recommend users to set "test" scope for this target, so I added it as `
ignoredUnusedDeclaredDependency`. This works, but it is too generic and allows bad usages like having the junit-jupiter-engine as runtime or even compile time. I would like to be able to say ignore unused dependency only for test scope, sorry if I miss some obvious way to do this.
