Good suggestion! I have added both.

I agree with changing the header of this section, and I do like "How to"-sections, but currently the guide doesn't have
this style so I suggest simply "Excluding a test".
As for the usage of `@ignore`; the keyword is used in ~100 tests, about a third in each of hotspot, jdk, and langtools,
so it's clearly used. I've added a few words to say that this is a less common use case, but I think the description as
such should remain.
