Add option to disable sending usage telemetry #3387

Description

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

As a user, I want to be able to control what information I share with third parties.

Proposed solution

Add a boolean enableTelemetry flag to settings.json to disable sending usage telemetry. This mirrors the existing flag in the Jetbrains GitHub Copilot plugin.

While I believe all such telemetry must be explicitly opt-in by default, at least adding the option would be a great first start, even if you don't expose it in the UI.
