rule.exported: add feature to disable selected warnings for rule (const,method,function)

RULES_DESCRIPTIONS.md

@@ -475,12 +475,17 @@ Available flags are:
 * _disableStutteringCheck_ disables checking for method names that stutter with the package name (i.e. avoid failure messages of the form _type name will be used as x.XY by other packages, and that stutters; consider calling this Y_)
 * _sayRepetitiveInsteadOfStutters_ replaces the use of the term _stutters_ by _repetitive_ in failure messages
 * _checkPublicInterface_ enabled checking public method definitions in public interface types
+* _disableChecksOnConstants_ disable all checks on constant declarations
+* _disableChecksOnFunctions_ disable all checks on function declarations
+* _disableChecksOnMethods_ disable all checks on method declarations
+* _disableChecksOnTypes_ disable all checks on type declarations
+* _disableChecksOnVariables_ disable all checks on variable declarations
 
 Example:
 
 ```toml
 [rule.exported]
-  arguments = ["checkPrivateReceivers", "disableStutteringCheck", "checkPublicInterface"]
+  arguments = ["checkPrivateReceivers", "disableStutteringCheck", "checkPublicInterface", "disableChecksOnFunctions"]
