3D viewer: Add option to turn off selection highlight

Description

Because incorrect highlighting (see #5828 (closed)) cannot be fixed from kicad side (VGA driver bug), it would be nice to have an option to turn 3D highlighting off, or switch between selection modes (bounding box highlight, as @KammutierSpule). I think many intel (or dell) VGA users will suffer from this after v6 becomes public.

Intel_HD_Graphics_4400

Steps to reproduce

  1. See #5828 (closed)
