Flag to decide whether or not match_params are auto-generated

[bb-jeriel]

Background

• Currently, it appears that match params are generated based off the match_params_template.rb file. If we do not wish to use some of these parameters and choose to remove them, they regenerate automatically anytime the Variants command is run.

Solution

• Provide a flag that determines whether some of these params should be automatically added

@bb-jeriel can you give specific examples of parameters you don't wish to have in match_params.rb?

Todo: Update params template so that auto generated/updated are below and provide comments so that users know what can/should be manually changed.

Hi @bb-jeriel, thanks for raising the issue. In order to proceed we will need a bit more information on what is the expectation here.
Variants will always write to the match_params.rb all related properties coming from the variants.yml file. If a certain property is coming with the wrong value that should be updated in the variants.yml itself. If a property is not being used we can simply ignore it.
If we want to configure per param basis which ones should or shouldn't go to the match_params.rb, that means one extra property for each (or a list of properties), which can be quite cumbersome to use.
One approach here could be a property that skips completely writing to the match_params.rb file. This achieves the desired but has side effects as the file will be in desync with the project.
Do you have any examples of how you see this functionality?
