Make AnalyzeClasses inherited

[zsoltkatona]

I'd propose this change so a common configuration for the AnalyzeClasses annotation can be set in a common superclass for ArchUnit test classes within a project:

@AnalyzeClasses(packages = "com.example.service", importOptions = {DoNotIncludeTests.class, DoNotIncludeSomething.class})
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Inherited
public @interface ArchRulesTest {
    ...
}

@ArchRulesTest
public class SecurityArchitecturePolicies {
    ...
}

@ArchRulesTest
public class MappingFrameworkPolicies {
    ...
}

@ArchRulesTest
public class LayeredArchitecturePolicies {
    ...
}

I haven't actually tested this, so this is just a recommendation - if you'd like me to fork the repo, create tests, etc. please let me know and I'll see when I'll be able to get to it.

Just to clarify, are you proposing the same as suggested here: #182 ?

Please be careful when using the word "inherit" 😉 Because it can also easily be understood in an OO way that you talk about object inheritance. You are talking about using @AnalyzeClasses as a meta-annotation if I understand you correctly?

And unfortunately adding @Inherited will AFAIS not really contribute to this? Or maybe you can explain why you think that @Inherited (given the respective docs) would have any influence on this?

Gonna close this since there has been no activity for a long time. Feel free to reopen if you want to revisit this!
