As an software architect within a bank which has tons of firewall, such requests for enabling firewall will never get approved , without opting out feature, we will get errors in logs, and we will have a sub standard experience. Unfortunately for us, it would be a no go with crewai if we don't have an opt out of telemetry.

PR Review 🔍

⏱️ Estimated effort to review [1-5]	2, because the PR is small and the changes are straightforward, but it requires careful consideration of the environment variable handling and its impact on the telemetry system.
🧪 Relevant tests	No
⚡ Possible issues	Possible Bug: The environment variable check `os.environ.get("CREWAI_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT", False)` will not work as intended because `os.environ.get` will return a string and not a boolean. This could lead to the telemetry not being disabled even if the environment variable is set.
🔒 Security concerns	No

Code feedback:

relevant file	src/crewai/telemetry/telemetry.py
suggestion	Consider explicitly checking for a specific string value to determine if telemetry should be disabled. This ensures that setting the environment variable to any string will not unintentionally disable telemetry. For example, you could check if the environment variable is set to 'true' or '1'.

relevant line	if os.environ.get("CREWAI_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT", False):

We are really loving this framework but this feature is important. will this be making it to a release soon. Must have as most of the enterprises will have approve a tool without opt-out.
