Ability to exclude specific examples in a matrix build

[per1234]

Hi @tfry-git. This capability is already provided by the GitHub Actions workflow framework:

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstrategymatrixexclude

I admit that I wasn't aware of matrix exclude, but I don't think that helps (or I am too dense, which would turn this into a request for an added example in the documentation):

The problem is that sketch directories are matched recursively (for a good reason!), but I want to exclude only a sub-path (i.e. not something that can be had on the level of the matrix). I.e., I want to write:

   sketch-paths: |
      - examples
   exclude-sketch-paths: |
      - examples/Just_this_one

(Which, coming to think about it, is even independent from matrix builds, in the first place).

@per1234 any chance to un-decline this? I am in the same situation as the poster and it would come very handy to exclude a specific example for some of the platforms!
