It's trivial to use a list of regions in lazy-highlight to skip them.
We can do this by adding a new variable isearch-lazy-highlight-regions,
like you recently added isearch-lazy-highlight-window-groups.

It's not trivial to take the list of boundaries from ispell-skip-region-list.
So the obstacle is in ispell.
