Enable a way to skip traversal of all children

[trueadm]

Today path.skip() only applies to the current node, it would be great to skip the traversal of all children of that given path too.

Or better still, abort all subsequent traversal:

traverse(program, {
  Identifier(path) {
    if (path.node.name === 'Waldo') {
      console.log('found him');
      path.abort();
    }
  }
});

We have something similar to abort - https://estree-toolkit.netlify.app/traversal/#stopping-traversal. But it totally stops the traversal, so I don't think it's what you want.

New version has it - skipChildren

Fantastic, thanks so much! this.stop() is what I was looking for, but skipChildren is also super helpful
