feat: add preventFocusDisruption setting to prevent editor focus stealing

- Add new configuration property roo-cline.preventFocusDisruption (default: false)
- Update DiffViewProvider to check setting before showing documents or focusing
- Preserve focus when opening diff views if setting is enabled
- Add comprehensive tests for the new functionality
- Add localization entry for the setting description

Fixes #4784
