Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/245

Every linter (stylelint, eslint) supports .ignore file for excluding files from linting. When I run
markdownlint **/*.md command from it checks node_modules folder and this is stupid. I can add this folder via markdownlint **/*.md --ignore node_modules but this is doesn't match with best practices.

I would like to use .markdownlintignore file for excluding files/folders
