Add ignore_key_func

[jinoobaek-qz]

Summary

This PR intends to add the functionality to ignore any key within any depth of the hierarchy via passing a callable that returns a boolean to determine whether it should ignore a key or not.

The specific use-case that I have here is to ignore all keys that start with a specific substring. However, I wanted to leave enough room to allow different types of behavior e.g. prefix, suffix, whole string, and/or containment check.

Bug Fixes/New Features

• Ignore key at any level of the dictionary hierarchy

How to Verify

Added a new unit test. All unit tests should pass.

Side Effects

Should not have any side effects to existing call behaviors.

Resolves

None

Tests

Added test_keys_to_ignore Augmented test_flatten_ignore_keys (to catch converse behavior)
