Description
When there's an issue with rust-analyzer that causes error output to crop up frequently (#10390 in my case), the output panel shows up and obscures any terminal that I was working with, along with a notification that also gets in the way (and dismissing that notification causes the output panel to come up again, due to a bug in vscode).
This is a good way to surface bugs but becomes pretty annoying when the extension is still otherwise usable. Can we get a way to disable this behavior at least?

Research direction
Start by tracing rust-analyzer's extension output reveal behavior and how extension settings control notifications or the output panel. Done means users can disable this behavior while retaining otherwise usable extension functionality, with coverage for the disabled setting.
