More powerful whitelisting system

See original GitHub issue

A lot of surviving mutants in a project are due to changing constants, e.g. FOO = 1, where FOO itself is used in tests then also. Killing those would need a test where the value itself is used, which does not make much sense, does it?

I think it would be good if those mutations could be skipped (e.g. by not mutating anything that matches [A-Z_]+ maybe?

It would be good if those could be deselected either by name of the mutation (which would need to be something like mutate-constant-X), or by specifying a pattern of identifiers not to mutate. (it is not possible to deselect mutations currently, is it?)

@nklapste I’ve released a new version of mutmut that ignored a bunch of these by default. It’s also got an overhauled cache system that is way better. Give it a try!

I added an example for the case about just matching the line. Seems like it should cover many use cases.
