enable/disable showing followpoints

[Piggey]

Similar to "show cursor trail" option

I used to have a lot of the same copies of the skin only to delete followpoints, so I thought this could be a nice quality of life improvement.

Unfortunately this way doesn't allow followpoints to be toggled "on the fly" during gameplay (as cursor trail can be).

this is a rather large shortcoming, all skin settings are expected to take effect immediately.

additionally, i want to say something like that was planned in the long run, but not using the implementation presented above. it would be better to put a setting like this in a skin settings screen (something like #4924 proposes) rather than add yet another switch button to the already-sprawling settings menu.

generally we ask to open a discussion first before PRing new functionality for precisely this reason (things may already be planned in a better/more organised way, just deprioritised in favour of other things).

Follow points are a vital element of gameplay. As @bdach has said, if you want this behaviour you will need to edit the skin. We don't want 100 toggles like this for each and every visual element.

We will make this easier to from from in-game in the future.
