Add option to skip views to Scaffold-dbcontext

[vocko]

When running Scaffold-dbcontext, classes for all existing tables and views are created. I only want to generate classes for existing tables in the database and omit all the views. The only possible workaround is to manually pick which tables to use. This is not very useful for large databases.

You can omit all tables by passing an empty -Tables parameter. Same should be possible for views.

@vocko FYI: EF Core Power Tools has a UI for table/view selection, and persists the selection.

true, but it only applies to those who are using Visual Studio 😞

Thanks Erik, I was using console to run it, but I have Visual Studio, will try the Power Tools. However, I still think this can't be too much work to add and will bring quite some value.

@vocko EF Core Power Tools is now available as a command line tool
