Descripción
Having used vertx with the [Ceylon programming language](https://ceylon-lang.org/) for a while, I have noticed that `@GenIgnore` [source](https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-codegen/blob/master/src/main/java/io/vertx/codegen/annotations/GenIgnore.java) has blocked access to interesting features for reasons that don't seem to apply to the Ceylon language.
For example methods returning `Map` or `X509Certificate` are out of reach while I believe they could be used perfectly well in Ceylon. And #40 lists `byte[]` as another case.
At the most coarse level one could simply choose to ignore `@GenIgnore` when generating bindings for specific languages. Alternatively we could perhaps add a (defaulted) parameter to the annotation indicating a feature required from the target language for the declaration to be included. This would give more fine-grained control over which constructs are exposed in which languages. For example the config file for the Ceylon language could indicate that it supports "MAP" and "CERTIFICATE" features (just to give the idea). Perhaps a better-named annotation could be introduced for this and deprecate the original one.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comience con el código fuente de la anotación GenIgnore en src/main/java/io/vertx/codegen/annotations/GenIgnore.java y revise el issue #40 para el caso relacionado de byte[]. La propuesta presenta varios diseños posibles, así que primero determine qué enfoque quieren los maintainers; el trabajo estaría terminado cuando exista un mecanismo acordado e implementado para el control de funcionalidades específicas del lenguaje.
