Description

I'd like an option to disable the overlays. Not only have these caused problems in some cases, some people might not want to see them anyway.

A simple variable would do, and I would even recommend to disable by default, but that's just me.

This would prevent me from needing to redefine haskell-check-paint-overlays as in:
#1260

Research direction

Start by inspecting the haskell-check-paint-overlays entry point and the context referenced in issue #1260. Add an option that prevents the overlays when disabled, and verify that the existing overlay behavior remains available when the option is enabled.
