Option to ignore optional dependencies

[anderius]

The following dependency is not included in the produced artifact, and it would be nice if it was not included in the sbom. At least some way to disable that inclusion:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>sample.ProjectA</groupId>
      <artifactId>Project-A</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
      <optional>true</optional>
    </dependency>

On a related note: why aren't optional dependencies marked with a scope of optional in the generated SBOM?

FYI #314 should address the question about scope, shifting the determination to rely on the maven understanding of optional
