✨ Add betaEnableViewUpdates config option

[mormubis]

Motivation

Enabling partial view updates currently requires setting enableExperimentalFeatures: ['partial_view_updates'], which is an internal mechanism not meant for customers. To share the feature with beta customers, we need a proper public-facing config option.

Changes

Added betaEnableViewUpdates?: boolean to RumInitConfiguration. When set to true, the partial view updates optimization is enabled directly — createBatchDispatcher receives it as a plain boolean, no experimental feature flag involved. The partial_view_updates experimental flag was removed.

Test instructions

DD_RUM.init({
  // ...
  betaEnableViewUpdates: true,
})

Check the Network tab — intermediate view updates should appear as view_update events instead of full view events.

Can we just drop the experimental flag?
