Description

Right now it's possible to use the --include argument to include only specific list of files to check. This is a handy feature, but the user might hit the **limit of maximum command length 32 767 characters, or 8 191 when executed from cmd.exe**.

**Feature request**: add option to specify path of a file with list of files/folders to include, or similarly to exclude. The argument name could be `--includeList` or `--excludeList`.
