Configure severity per rule

[rubenvandeven]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Generally, I prefer to have spelling errors at a 'warning' severity so there is a clear indication that I need to address them.
Also, I really enjoy LanguageTool's suggestions for e.g. passive voice, or hints about quotes, these errors can be distracting while writing. In particular because they appear as equally severe as spelling mistakes.

Describe the solution you'd like
This could be addressed by configuring a 'hint' severity for PASSIVE_VOICE, while having a 'warning' severity for other errors. I can imagine other users have other preferences. Ideally, one can map diagnostic severity levels to rule ids, e.g.

{
    "EN_QUOTES": "information",
    "PASSIVE_VOICE": "hint"
}

This way, while writing, one can ignore particular suggestions until later, while immediately acting upon brainless spelling errors.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping things as they are now, and learn to ignoring the suggestions ;-)

Either way, I really enjoy using language-tool using vscode-ltex, thank you for developing and maintaining these packages!

Thanks for the suggestion, this is now implemented.

And thank you for the kind words (it means a lot to me!), but I can only take credit for vscode-ltex and ltex-ls. LanguageTool is not from me.

Wow, that's blazing fast. Many thanks!

While I'm aware that you "only" maintain ltex, I admire anyone able to maintain any floss package -- it's easy to underestimate the effort invested in these projects. Keep up the great work!
