Add setting to hide active language button in the status bar (#33977)

Release Notes:

- Added settings status_bar.show_active_language_button to show/hide the
language button in the status bar.

The motivation for this is visual, I have had zero issues with its
functionality.

The language switcher can still be accessed by the command palette,
menu, or a keyboard shortcut.

------

This is my first Zed and first Rust PR, so criticism is very welcome. 

I know there has been discussion around how the status bar settings are
structured and named, and I am happy to change it to whatever is best. I
was also not sure what order to put it in in the settings default.json.
Feedback welcome.

Here is a picture of it in action:
