Allow disabling the hidden preferences window.

[stuckj]

This gives an option under advanced settings allowing the user to disable the hidden preferences window when applying settings (i.e., adding the hide-preferences-window class when caprine opens settings). This will be disabled by default (current behavior). If enabled, you'll very briefly see the settings window flash when caprine applies a setting inside Messenger.

Based on conversation here: #2265

I think this is a good way to implement a workaround, rather than having users remove the hide-preferences-window class from the dev tools area like is mentioned in multiple other issues. When Facebook (inevitably) changes selectors again, this workaround would definitely be more user-friendly in the meantime.

Cool. I'm guessing the process is to merge is someone with merge permissions will eventually review and merge this if accepted or come back with comments if there are changes requested? I looked through the contributing guidelines below and believe this should be good for review and merge whenever someone has a chance to take a look. :)

Hey @sindresorhus, not a rush, but just plopping this on your radar if you have a chance to take a look. It's a small change to make working around issues of FB changing their UI easier to deal with. Details are in the description.

Actually, @mquevill, it looks like you're a maintainer for this repo. Given that the last commit I see from @sindresorhus himself was over 2 years ago, would you be ok to merge? It sounded like you thought it looked ok up above.

[mirenradia]

Any chance this can be merged soon and a new release made? It's a bit frustrating to have to remove this class using DevTools every time I start Caprine.

[stuckj]

Bumpity bump bump? :)

If it makes it more fun I can make up a song and add a verse once a month or so to keep this on the radar to merge. 😂

@dusansimic @mquevill @lefterisgar can we please grant repository permissions for @stuckj ? Currently the project is at a standstill, a lot of Caprine users are still having problems, plus regular updates would be useful as there are a lot of problems with messenger...
