Description

It would be great if the import/no-extraneous-dependencies rule could be ignored project wide but only for certain dependencies.

import/no-unresolved already has this functionality with it's ignore regex setting.

This could also be a potential solution for https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/issues/496

Research direction

Start with the import/no-extraneous-dependencies rule and compare its configuration with import/no-unresolved's ignore regex setting. Define the requested project-wide exception for selected dependency names, then verify that the rule allows those names while continuing to report other extraneous dependencies.
