Suggestion: Turn off chases_belt_items (or add toggle?)

Inserter prototypes support chases_belt_items which is default on. This is a toggle to have inserters chase items on belts. This can lead to very long load times when used with belts. I realize its intended use was probably not with belts, so it could add to its niche usefulness.

good idea
...not playing factorio right now - I would appreciate a PR

I'm not sure how to do that.
I inserted this line
entity.chases_belt_items = false
after line 87 in "data/entity.lua" to test.

the right approach would be to add a mod setting and then check that in the script...
I might have a look during the holiday season as I'll have some time off by then
