Description

Add an "enablePixelShader" setting, which can be set to true or false.

If set to "false", but a valid pixelShaderPath was specified, this would enable Windows Terminal to be started without the pixel shader visible, but available at the press of a key combination.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating toggleShaderEffects and the configuration handling for pixelShaderPath, then determine where an enablePixelShader setting belongs. Done means the setting can disable visible pixel shaders while preserving a valid configured path for later activation.
