Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now, we have DISABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS as a convenient way to provide a list of linters whose findings will not cause MegaLinter to fail a build.

The vision I have is that MegaLinter could run and fail builds if scanners in REPOSITORY_.* produce findings but allow MegaLinter to pass builds that have findings in the other linters.

So, the security-centric REPOSITORY_.* scanners findings' will be errors while everything else has errors disabled. It's the inverse of DISABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS.

Describe the solution you'd like

Example:

DISABLE_ERRORS: true
ENABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS:
  - REPOSITORY-SEMGREP
  - REPOSITORY-GITLEAKS
  - [.. rest of the security scanners go here]

(the first line may or may not be implied by the presence of ENABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS)

Describe alternatives you've considered

DISABLE_ERRORS: false
DISABLE_ERRORS_LINTERS:
  - MARKDOWN_MARKDOWNLINT
  - MARKDOWN_REMARK_LINT
  - MARKDOWN_MARKDOWN_LINK_CHECK
  - MARKDOWN_MARKDOWN_TABLE_FORMATTER
  - [.. every other linter MegaLinter supports except the security scanners]

Additional context

This could mirror the behavior of other variables in the activation / deactivation functionality, but that may be more involved than would be required at an early stage.

I looked through the code and the issues on GitHub but I didn't see what I was looking for, but that's not to say there isn't a fancy, super-excellent way to get from here to there without changing a line of code.

Just an idea. Thank you!
