[ENH]: Add mechanism for feature flags #30519

Description

@timhoffm

Problem

Introducing fundamental behavioral changes like registering standalone figures #29855, GUI-native drawing elements #30516, or the data prototype may cause unforeseen side effects.

Proposed solution

It may be worthwhile to make them toggleable through flags. This would allow to

  • ship experimental features and allow early adopters to try them out by opt-in
  • if the flag is active by default, users have the chance to opt out if the feature breaks their work
