Description

Adds a toggle under Parental Control that allows the user to disable the channel link from video thumbnails.

Testing

Go to Settings -> Parental Control -> Enabled "Disable Channel Link on Videos"
View any video thumbnail and see that channel link can't be clicked and no longer appears as a link

Additional context

The original issue called for also hiding the "Channels" button in the side bar, but I feel like this should be a separate PR since I think it makes the most sense to be another toggle under "Distraction Free -> Side Bar"
I'm not 100% sure on this, so wanted to add this here for feedback?
