Steam overlay in recordings #52

Description

Steam overlay shows up in TF2 SVR recordings since version 35. This was not present in 1.1.

The overlay can of course be avoided by not opening it, but steam notifications etc. will also show up. The primary issue for me is the "Access the Steam community while playing" -popup that happens shortly after game launch since my recordings are automated and can start shortly after the game if the demo file is short enough. See for example https://youtu.be/GGrFzaJ4A10?t=36 (00:36, bottom right corner).

I couldn't find any launch args to disable steam overlay at https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Command_Line_Options#Source_Games unless I missed something. Remembering to disable overlay through steam library > game properties every time before recording is a pain.
