Disable tracking for single short links #2219

Summary

We have read the documentation and we have found there's a way to disable tracking for all links, which is good.

However, we may still want to track visits for some particular links and disable tracking for the others. Is that possible? If so, how?

We have thought of keeping tracking enabled and, by using a reverse proxy like nginx, automatically appending DISABLE_TRACK_PARAM to the URLs for which we want to disable tracking, but I hope there's a better solution.

Another solution would be to run two instances of shlink, one with tracking enabled and the other without, but it looks way too complex for our use case.

However, the ideal solution would be to add a parameter, both to the API and the web app, that allows to enable/disable tracking on each single link.

Use case

We would like to use shlink for both marketing short links (for which we want to enable tracking of course) and other kinds of links (user generated) which don't need tracking at all.
