Description

When the language server is notified that a file rename has occured you are always prompted with "Do you want to modify the require path?"

I find that to be bothersome and would prefer if the refactoring would happen silently.
As far as I can tell there's currently no configuration option for this.

The responsible code seems to be in lua-language-server/script/core/modifyRequirePath.lua:67:

    local _, index = client.awaitRequestMessage('Info', lang.script.WINDOW_MODIFY_REQUIRE_PATH, {
        lang.script.WINDOW_MODIFY_REQUIRE_OK
    })

Would it be possible to simply add a check for a config option here?

Research direction

Start at lua-language-server/script/core/modifyRequirePath.lua:67 and trace how configuration options are defined and read. Add a configuration choice for the didRenameFiles prompt, then verify that disabling it allows the refactoring to proceed silently while the existing prompt remains available by default.
