Allow to selectively skip Chucker interception

⚠️ Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Sometimes I might not want to involve Chucker in the interception process on some endpoints. For example I know that request or response will be too large so Chucker won’t handle it anyway. Or there might be some bug preventing me from using Chucker on this endpoint but I don’t want to downgrade it as there are some other features I like in the new version.

💡 Describe the solution you’d like

Add a header to the request that would be detected by the ChuckerInterceptor and inform it to not process the request. ChuckerInterceptor would then strip this header and pass it to down the chain without processing it.

It might be something like this.

fun Service {
  @GET("/")
  @Headers(Chucker.SKIP_INTERCEPTOR)
  fun networkRequest(): Unit
}

🙋 Do you want to develop this feature yourself?

But, why not skip the header, and just configure the filters on the interceptor instead?

private val skippedEndpoints: MutableList<(Request) -> Boolean> = mutableListOf()

override fun intercept(chain: Interceptor.Chain): Response {
    val request = chain.request()

    if (skippedEndpoints.any { it(request) }) {
        return chain.proceed(request)
    } else {
        // normal interception logic
    }
}

One consideration might be to create also an extensions like this in the external library.

fun Interceptor.stripping(headerName: String): Interceptor

It would make it easier for Kotlin users to use this feature. Function could be mark with @JvmSynthetic to hide it from Java users. I think that it would be awkward to have such a static utility function.
