Disable the extra Citect32 executables if the new web component is not used

In V2023 a new chromium web component was introduced. This causes extra Citect32 processes started. The ExampleSA project starts 10 Citect32.exes instead of the 5 (I/Om Alarm, Trend, Report and Client) you would expect (not in service mode). Would be nice to disable it using a parameter or not starting these extra Citect32's if the web component isn't used on any pages of the project (even better)

There are SI's and end-users who have tooling for monitoring the number of instances of the Citect32.exe.

    2295143 - INI parameter required to disable Web Content

    A new INI parameter [Animator]EnableWebContent has been added. Set this to 0 (default = 1) to disable Web Content at runtime. This will prevent the creation of extra Citect32 processes.
