-Wconf src filter not implemented

Compiler version

3.3.1

Scala 2's -WConf filters include src filter which allows configuring warnings for a given source path pattern. It is missing in Scala 3. It is handy for ignoring warnings for generated sources where you have no option of placing @nowarn annotations. Right now I'm facing a problem were I can't enable -Werror because of warnings reported in generated sources (in my case generated by ScalaPB protobuf compiler).

It would be great to bring all Scala2 WConf filters to Scala 3 but this issue is just about src. I am willing to contribute a pull request for this.

Duplicates #17634 which was deemed not regressive enough to warrant a ticket without further discussion.

Ah ok I didn't realize that before opening an issue I am supposed to search in resolved tickets as well.

I remembered because someone commented on the discussion that they would like to fix it, but of course they will need an open ticket! So your timing is impeccable.

Thanks for this @povder! I was looking it up because the issue prevents me using Play with Scala 3 (with warnings as errors), so this is very well timed for me personally :-D
