This commit refactors the `usageStatisticsEnabled` setting from a sub-property of the `telemetry` configuration to a top-level setting. This change simplifies the configuration by decoupling usage statistics from the telemetry settings.
The documentation has also been updated to reflect this change.
Renames the `disableDataCollection` flag to the more intuitive and positive `dataCollectionEnabled`.
This change improves code clarity by avoiding double negatives and making the purpose of the flag more direct. The logic has been inverted wherever the flag is used to accommodate the new naming convention.
Using a suffix like `"Enabled"` follows a common convention that improves readability.
- A condition like `if (dataCollectionEnabled)` reads like a natural language sentence ("if data collection is enabled"), which reduces cognitive load.
- Distinguishes the boolean flag (representing a state) from potential functions that would perform an action (e.g., `enableDataCollection()` or `disableDataCollection()`), avoiding ambiguity between checking a value and calling a function.

### Telemetry Settings
Refactors telemetry configuration to use a nested `telemetry` object in `settings.json`, for example:
```json
{
"telemetry": {
"enabled": true,
"target": "gcp"
"log-prompts": "true"
},
"sandbox": false
}
```
The above includes
- Centralized telemetry settings under a `telemetry` object in `settings.json`.
- CLI flags for the `gemini` command to override all telemetry sub-settings:
- `--telemetry` / `--no-telemetry`
- `--telemetry-target <local|gcp>`
- `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint <URL>`
- `--telemetry-log-prompts` / `--no-telemetry-log-prompts`
- Updates `packages/cli/src/config/config.ts` and `packages/core/src/config/config.ts` to read from the new settings structure and respect the new CLI flags.
- Modifies `scripts/handle-telemetry.js`, `scripts/local_telemetry.js`, and `scripts/telemetry_utils.js` to align with the new settings structure.
- Updates `docs/core/telemetry.md` to reflect the new settings structure, CLI flags, and order of precedence.
- Renames `logUserPromptsEnabled` to `logPrompts` for brevity.
### `npm run telemetry`
Add a new `npm run telemetry` command that uses `scripts/telemetry.js`, automates the entire process of setting up a local and GCP telemetry pipelines, including configuring the necessary settings in the `.gemini/settings.json` workspace file and installing required binaries (e.g. `otelcol-contrib`).
