@JsonIgnoreProperties should support nested properties

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It seems that there is no easy way to use the @JsonIgnoreProperties for nested properties. A similar case was #690 but it seems there is no way to do it with annotation.

Describe the solution you’d like Allowing a syntax with dots to go down a level with @JsonIgnoreProperties.

Usage example

class A {
	
	int id;
	
	double value;
	
}

class B {
	
	String name;
	
	A anObject;
	
}

class C {
	
	@JsonIgnoreProperties({ "anObject.id" })
	List<B> aList;
	
}

Would produce a JSON like:

{
	"aList": [
		{
			"name": "...",
			"anObject": {
				"value": 42.0
			},
		},
		{
			"name": "...",
			"anObject": {
				"value": 42.0
			}
		}
	]
}

Additional context This will especially useful for JPA entities with bi-directional mapping, where you can directly return the instance without copying to model to filter some values.

No plans to ever implement this (due to delegating design, will not be possible with current Jackson architecture), closing.

@JsonFilter only allow you to do it programmatically.

I was looking for an anwser that yould be useful coupled with Spring MVC.
