copilot: Add the option to disable Next Edit Suggestions (#47438)
Adds a new setting to GitHub Copilot to toggle the Next Edit Suggestions
feature, it is enabled by default.
## Motivations
Due to some current usability issues with this feature, see #46880, and
some personal anecdotes of using it, it is currently rough to utilize,
so this gives the option to disable it.

## Release Notes
- Adds the ability to disable GitHub Copilot's Next Edit Suggestions
feature.
## User Interface

## Text Example
The text example will be adding a `z` variable to a `Point3D` class in
TypeScript.
### With Next Edit Suggestions
In this example I am able to just press auto-complete (press TAB) 3x.
```ts
class Point3D {
x: number;
y: number;
z: number; // <-- Cursor before z: suggested
constructor(x: number,
y: number
, z: number // <-- Next Suggestion
) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z; // <-- Last Suggestion
}
}
```
### Without Next Edit Suggestions
```ts
class Point3D {
x: number;
y: number;
z: number; // <-- Cursor before z: the only suggestion
constructor(x: number, y: number) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}
```
