Image widget "Insert From URL" should be optional

See original GitHub issue

The feature introduced here: https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/pull/4700/files should be optional imho.

It’s a great feature, but in some cases it encourages hotlinking haha. I would prefer to be able to turn it off, just maybe like

label: "Hero Image",
      name: "image",
      widget: "image",
      choose_url: false,
      allow_multiple: false,
      default: "/img/shareable-default.jpg",
      i18n: true,

Imho it should be activated by default, just as it is now, that way it’s backwards compatible.

Accept an option to deactivate the url link, something like from_url: false.

And I personally would expect the behavior to be: Once you set from_url to false, the link to add from a url isn’t shown anymore in the UI. So that a content manager can only upload images to media library or select an existing image.
