By default, everything functions the same. But if the `DISABLE_CONFIG_BACKUPS` env var is set, then when the user saves the config to disk (via UI, calling the save-config endpoint), then the previous config will not get coppied/backedup to the BACKUP_DIR (user-data/config-backups) anymore. Also added docs for this change. This option might be useful on file systems with restricted permissions (if /app/user-data/config-backups doesn't have create/write access), or when the user just doesn't want a ton of backup files for every single litttle config change.
