feat(config): support for rules & ignore sections in config

[ahmadnassri]

in an attempt to simplify the configuration file format and allow for additional features, this PR introduces a breaking change (and thus a major version will be released)

BREAKING CHANGE:

• config file is now required
• action inputs is now limited to token & config file, all other values are moved to config file
• config file format has changed syntax

asking @ttshivers @leblancfg @AlCalzone for feedback on this breaking change, as you've all helped contribute and shape this action :)

[AlCalzone]

Incomplete sentence?

[AlCalzone]

I think these two are missing from the docs now.

[AlCalzone]

Didn't look at everything in-depth, but the changes make sense IMO. Just two documentation-related nits.

FYI: I'm holding this release back as GH Actions has showed issue with version fixing on docker based actions ...

@ahmadnassri
I was just about to write a feature request.
What I need is something similar to this.
Are there any plans to merge this?
