Check Exclusions Before Creating Review Requests

[jfaltermeier]

When working with npm workspaces, local workspaces are included in the package-lock.json file, which means they are also processed by the license checker. To address getting reviews for internal packages, I added an exclusions file. With this my CI job is green. However, the current setup still tries to open review tickets for the excluded local packages.

It would be helpful if the exclusions were checked before review tickets are created.

Affected project files:

https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-cloud/blob/main/node/package-lock.json
https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia-cloud/blob/main/node/configs/license-check-exclusions.json

Example output:
