Native preset disable config flag

[revmischa]

I think the native presets are not very interesting and should be disabled by default. If someone wants to make some cool native presets they can enable it, but normal users have no need for this functionality.

Great! Join the discord! Look through open issues or fix something that bothers you. Documentation needs improving, downstream packages need maintaining.

Native presets can now be enabled via a CMake parameter and are disabled by default, but there's still no config setting to prevent them from being loaded if they are installed.

With disabled native preset support in the CMake build (which is the default), the whole native preset loading code won't be compiled into the library at all. As these presets have numerous issues with stability, security and portability, this issue should be fixed in the next release.
