Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a demo server provided by a vendor, and dont want to be performing active scans on it. The passive scans are still quite useful.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear way to disable the active scans.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried cherrybomb oas --active-scan-checks "" --file .. but that replied with

error: The following required arguments were not provided:
    --exclude-active-checks <EXCLUDE_ACTIVE_CHECKS>

I was able to get it to disable the active scans using

cherrybomb oas --active-scan-type 3 --active-scan-checks "" --exclude-active-checks 0 --file ..

The isn't very intuitive.
If a simpler approach isnt possible, perhaps that sequence could be mentioned in the README or some docs, so that the tool doesnt default to active scanning unless the user is aware that will happen.
