Support layer exclusion

[fabrii]

It would be nice to support layer exclusion on WildFly Glow CLI.

In certain cases, some layers are added because of classes that are present (but not used) in dependencies.

For example, primefaces library adds the "jpa" layer while infinispan-cdi-embedded-jakarta adds the "micrometer" layer.

Now micrometer is out.

@fabrii , thank-you.
Perhaps something to look at in your datasources case is the WildFly Glow documentation, in particular this piece:
https://docs.wildfly.org/wildfly-galleon-feature-packs/#_galleon_layers_and_associated_discovery_rules
you can find what we are looking for for datasources.

Something that I should have mentioned that will help you understand why a layer is present. We have documentation for the latest WildFly version that covers the rules WildFly Glow relies on to identify layers. In this documentation: https://docs.wildfly.org/wildfly-galleon-feature-packs/ you will find the existing rules (generic description), all the supported galleon feature-packs for a given WildFly version, and for each defined layer, the actual rules that are in use. For example, for datasources we can see: org.wildfly.rule.class <https://docs.wildfly.org/wildfly-galleon-feature-packs/#glow.org.wildfly.rule.class> =java.sql,javax.sql This means that if a class from these 2 packages is referenced, then datasources layer is added.
