Ignore folders for libraries

Add the ability to ignore folders that contain libraries. That way I don't get hundreds of warnings from somebody elses code.

Ignore from indexing, or ignore from errors/warnings?

Ignore the errors/warnings because it is code we should not be changing. Is there a way of muting those warnings? It is a good idea to index them because those libraries are still going to be used in the application and intellisense should still work.

I need also this feature to ignore some folders because i don't have read permissions.
Ex. I have a .mysql folder used to mount a docker volume and I receive the following error

[Error - 7:59:42 PM] Server initialization failed.
  Message: RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/project/.mysql/my_db_name): failed to open dir: Permission denied
  Code: -32603

When using Composer, PHP-Intellisense simply fills my error box with hundreds of errors and warnings from third party dependencies in the vendor directory.

I think it shouldn't show errors from directories within the files.exclude vscode setting. That setting seems to align with this issue.

In Eclipse PDT we have the concept of "library folders". These a folders that are indexed, but no validation and static code analysis is done for them. Composer's "vendor" folder is automatically set as a library folder. Users can mark and unmark library folders as they wish.

I agree that defaulting to vendor/ is ok, but it should be configurable as some people change the vendor dir to be something else (composer.json > config > vendor-dir lets you do that), and other projects have libraries in more places than one.

[felixfbecker]

Sure, but currently there is no configuration at all for the LS so didChangeConfiguration etc. would have to be implemented first.

+1 for this.
It's intensely annoying every time I open a Symfony project I get recursive directory crashes from the LS..

@ianfoulds This issue is already implemented and closed. If you experience crashes, please open a new issue.
