Allow "Explorer: Incremental Naming" to have Disabled option for Paste

[virgofx]

Please add an option to disable incremental naming. By disabling ... the end effect should be to effectively overwrite existing files when pasting.

The current options of smart and simple are helpful; however, not useful in my context. For myself and those users who commonly do file operations in the host OS file explorer, the expected behavior when copying files/folders in the VSCode explorer is to similarly have these overwritten.

To verify set "explorer.incrementalNaming": "disabled" and copy and paste a file to ensure its name isn't changed and if a file of the same name exists in that directory it asks to overwrite the file
