Disable Code With Me session sharing

Starting with the IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2 version, you can disable session creation in the IDE by declaring isCodeWithMeHostEnabled parameter in the following configuration files.

Being set in false, this parameter blocks an attempt to generate a session link in the IDE. By default, CodeWithMe is enabled. In the case of a not-found or not-properly parsed file, CodeWithMe is considered as allowed.
