Allow a transport to be excluded from the plug-in generation

To allow separation of applications on different thread pools (and associated transports), it would be useful to be able to specify which transport(s) propagate to the web server plug-in and which ones don't.

Be it with some custom property or else, marking a HTTP transport to not propagate to the plug-in would allow customer to set up the MetricsApp to run on a separate thread pool, so that it keeps responding even if the WebContainer thread pool gets saturated.

Right now, the only alternative is to stop automatic generation and propagation, and manually tweak the plug-in config to remove the "metrics transport" from it.

    Background. Multiple apps are deployed on the same WAS server. One particular app is "metrics" and other apps are business apps. The "metrics" app is associated with port 9082 in a custom transport chain, which has a dedciated thread pool. While other apps are associated with port 9080 the default WC transport chain with default webcontainer thread pool. This results in 3 transports in plugin-cfg.xml, For example, 2 HTTP transport (9080, 9082) and 1 HTTPS transport (9443) under the same WAS server. The "metrics" app is not mapped to webserver and requires direct access to WAS 9082 only. While business apps should go through IHS/plugin to WAS 9080. However, the presence of transport 9082 will be possibly selected, then business apps could be accidentally using the dedicated "metrics" thread pool.
