[Feature Request] To be able to specify --category for scanning code violations in Extension Settings

[vc4u]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
By default the scan finds and flags almost every violations and warning which could be overwhelming for a large class.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would help ISVs, to be able to scan for just "Security" category so as to be ready to generate report for Security Review submission.

"Workaround":
Executing via CLI allows category argument to scan only for Security concerns.

"Urgency":
Nice to have

@vc4u , in the long-term, we may add some mechanism to more finely control which rules run in the extension. But for now, per the documentation, you could create a custom PMD config file that includes only the Security rules, and reference that in the extension's settings. Then only those rules will run.
