Add setting to disable resize overlay (COLS × ROWS)

Description of the new feature
The recently merged resize overlay (PR #20059) shows terminal dimensions in the center of the window when resizing or changing font size.
While this is a nice feature for many users, I find it visually distracting :( — I don't need to see the column/row count during resize, and the overlay clutters the experience.
Request for example: Add a setting (e.g. "experimental.showResizeOverlay": true) to settings.json so users can disable this overlay and/or add setting in SUI.
Default can remain true — I just want the option to turn it off.
Thanks!
