Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a bit annoyed by the B101 assert_used warnings in my testing code, as pytest recommends (and I follow) using assert statements. It's confusing that bandit complains about them. On the other hand, I want to be warned about using assert in my non-test code.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to ignore pattern B101 for the /tests folder only.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing how Bandit reads configuration and applies the B101 check to paths. Done means configuration can suppress B101 under /tests while continuing to report it in non-test code.
