Missing option 'exclude' in lll linter settings

[Nitjsefni7]

Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As I have seen that lll linter allows to set flag --exclude to exclude lines that matches regex, I was wondering if it would be possible to add this option to linter settings in linters configuration. It will be helpful to skip for example structs tags.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Add option -exclude for lll settings

lll:
    tab-width: 4
    line-length: 140
    exclude: <regex>

Describe alternatives you've considered.

For now to omit checking for specific lines comment // nolint: lll have to be used.

Additional context.

Hello,

I recommend using the global exclusions system:
https://golangci-lint.run/usage/false-positives/#exclude-or-skip

For me, it's better than an option inside the linter.

Also, we use a custom implementation of lll (we don't use an external lib) so there are no existing options.

If anyone else comes across this issue, this example shows how to use the global exclusions system: #207 (comment)

it's otherwise not obvious from the documentation that this source: configuration option exists.
