Deck is adding lots of these "only X" or "skip Y" flags. Can we make this more generic, so that they can pass something like:

--validate-only plugins,consumers?

@mheap sure I was actually thinking about something similar first. Let me refactor this PR

For info it really does have a nice impact on performance, here a test with a small file:

Performance are almost 40% to 50% better

@mheap can you confirm it looks ok or do you want me to edit the flag name? I will then ask for review for this PR.
I have also slightly refactor to simplify the code and use a EntityMap global var instead of running test by test

Thanks

FlagName: --online-entities-list

Entities should be part of the EntitiesMap: RBACEndpointPermissions, RBACRoles, Plugins, Services, ACLGroups, BasicAuths, CACertificates, Certificates, Consumers, Documents, HMACAuths, JWTAuths, KeyAuths, Oauth2Creds, Routes, SNIs, Targets, Upstreams, FilterChains, Vaults.

Any update on this? Thanks
