feat(core): allow more granular control over sanity checks

[crisbeto]

Allows consumers to disable individual sanity checks, rather than the all-or-nothing setup that we have at the moment.

Fixes #16617.

[crisbeto]

Reworked based on the feedback @jelbourn.

I see that you just added the pr: merge ready label, but the following checks are still failing:
     status "ci/circleci: tests_browserstack" is failing

If you want your PR to be merged, it has to pass all the CI checks.

If you can't get the PR to a green state due to flakes or broken master, please try rebasing to master and/or restarting the CI job. If that fails and you believe that the issue is not due to your change, please contact the caretaker and ask for help.
