GradebookNG > new sakai.property to disable "Set Zero Score for Empty Cells"

Description
It may be desirable for an institution to disable the ability for users to invoke the "Set Zero Score for Empty Cells" function, as it can be dangerous and difficult to reverse.
The linked PR introduces a new sakai.property (gradebookng.showSetZeroScore), which controls whether or not the option will appear in the menu. The property defaults to true to preserve OOTB functionality.
This may also be a desired interim solution for those who are concerned with related issues, SAK-33110 and SAK-41154.
Tested setting zero, verified student view, tested ability to update a 0 and verified student view
