feat: improve ConsolidationEnhancer

[achrinza]

This PR should be bundled with other breaking changes.

Dynamic Disable
The enhancer can now be dynamically enabled & disabled after being bound.

This feature is intended to provide flexibility for LoopBack applications to have more "instant" configuration control during runtime without requiring a blocking rebind.

Static Class Members
Class members that do not require knowledge of the class state are now static.

Should move this to property injection.

Are you modifying the _config object afterwards?

[achrinza]

ContextView would allow modification of the configuration after the ConsolidationEnhancer is initialised, which would give a better developer experience instead of having to re-bind the enhancer for those who need a more "dynamic" configuration.

Why changing the name? Do we have a convention to use _ for private declaration names?

Ctrl + Shift + F on vscode shows that this naming convention is being used across several packages:
