Description
This option when constructing a rust-project.json has no effect and should either be removed or a comment should be stated why it no longer works.
Git blame doesnt really show anything when it comes to why it was added / if it ever worked.

Research direction
Start in crates/project-model/src/project_json.rs at line 328 and inspect how the runnable type check option is constructed and consumed. Check the surrounding code and history to determine whether the option is still supported; done means either removing the ineffective option or documenting why it no longer works.
