Your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

gosec by default ignores test files, and supports ignoring additional folders with the -exclude-dir command line argument. This feature is not provided in golangci-lint.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add exclude-tests (boolean) and exclude-dir (array) options to gosec config with respective support.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The previous solution is straightfoward, I could not think of other alternatives.

Hello,

you can already exclude test files for a specific linter:

issues:
  exclude-rules:
    - path: (.+)_test.go
      linters:
        - gosec
