Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I only need a handful of endpoints from the GitHub definition, but I still end up with 1741 model files, most of which are unused.
Describe the solution you'd like
It seems --openapi-normalizer FILTER="operationId:|tag:" could analyse its requests and responses to schedule production of only the model files it needs to compile.
Additionally, supporting FILTER="path:" would be useful if a third-party's definition file doesn't set tags or operationId at the granularity the user finds useful. Ideally it would be possible to have path:post:/app-manifests/{code}/conversions or similar.
While it seems unlikely someone might WANT all the model files even if they don't need the API files that use them, it's a change of behaviour, so perhaps --openapi-normalizer MODELS="required-only" would trigger it
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've used .openapi-generator-ignore to exclude everything from the api, model, infrastructure, and auth directories except for the api files I know I need, and then iteratively copy/pasting 'missing class' errors and converting them into exceptions to the directory-level excludes. I managed 145 files - 12% - but it was a nuisance to do and it's still not as minimal as it could be.
I considered editing GitHub's file down to only what I wanted, but that amounts to the same thing as the ignore file, but from the other end.
Additional context
This issue #18897 is related, but --openapi-normalizer FILTER="operationId:apps/create-installation-access-token" only filters API - I still have a complete model directory even though the filtered API only needs a handful of the generated files.
