proposal: x/tools/cmd/goimports: ability to exclude specific directory, like vendor

[bilalcaliskan]

Currently as i know, goimports dont have an option to exclude specific directory so i am excluding vendor directory on my personal projects like below:

for item in $(find . -type f -name '*.go' -not -path './vendor/*'); do goimports -l -w $item; done

it is a little bit uggly i guess, so i and i think lots of gophers like me will be glad if that option is supported by goimports.

This seems like a duplicate of #30058, #37724, and others. Is there a difference I am missing?

@rsc why it is likely declined brother? what kind of negative consequences that tiny feature could have?
