Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

No.

Is your feature request related to new section on prompt?

No.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like an easy way to disable all symbols in the prompt. Currently I have to go through a long list like so:

SPACESHIP_GIT_SYMBOL=""
SPACESHIP_NODE_SYMBOL=""
SPACESHIP_RUBY_SYMBOL=""
...

I would like to do this in a single command like:

SPACESHIP_PROMPT_SYMBOLS_SHOW=true|false

Describe alternatives you've considered

The alternative, as described above, is to list all *_SYMBOL options and set them to an empty string "".

Documentation, adoption

Variable Default Meaning
SPACESHIP_PROMPT_SYMBOLS_SHOW true Show all symbols in the prompt

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a new environment variable SPACESHIP PROMPT SYMBOLS SHOW that, when set to false, hides all symbols in the prompt. This involves modifying the prompt rendering logic to conditionally display symbols based on this variable.
