Adds a new configuration option coder.disableUpdateNotifications that allows users to disable the popup notifications when workspace template updates are available.

Changes:

  • Added coder.disableUpdateNotifications boolean setting to package.json (defaults to false)
  • Modified workspaceMonitor.ts to check this setting before showing update notifications
  • When enabled, the extension will still track outdated workspaces but won't show the popup

Testing:
The configuration option has been added and the code compiles. Users can set this in their VS Code settings to disable the update popups.

Fixes the issue where frequent template updates were causing too many notifications for users.

Only set notifiedOutdated to true if we actually notify the user about
the outdated workspace, not when notifications are disabled.
