felix: FeatureGate - to dis/enable features
Sometimes we want to be able to include code that may not be finished yet or 100% tested and we want to keep that code disabled in normal production environments but we want to have it enabled in tests or in specific user environments. Or we have a fix that breaks other things but works for a particular corner case usecase without troubles.
In such cases we want to have the flexibility to configure felix easily without introducing new config parameters that may disappear soon etc.
FeatureGate workis similar to FeatureDetectOverride which we previously overloaded for this functionality. However, FeatureDetectOverride is specifically used to overriding environment feature detection in cases where the automatic detection mechanism is not perfect and configures felix in a troublesome way.
