Controls: Add option to disable "save from controls"

Summary

The new feature for creating and editing stories from controls is great, but with my (idiosyncratic) setup it doesn't work, and I'd like to disable it since it just gets in the way. Is there a way to prevent that "You modified this story..." popup from appearing altogether when I use the Controls?

Proposal:

// .storybook/preview.js
export default {
  parameters: {
    controls: {
      disableSave: true
    }
  }
}

Alternate proposal:

// .storybook/main.js
export default {
  addons: [
    {
      name: "@storybook/addon-essentials",
      options: {
        saveFromControls: false
      },
    },
  ],
};

Or when using addon-controls directly:

// .storybook/main.js
export default {
  addons: [
    {
      name: "@storybook/addon-controls",
      options: {
        saveFromControls: false
      },
    },
  ],
};

Would very much like to see this get implemented
