Feature Request: Toggle for Cloud Masking

Description: Introduce a toggle switch to enable or disable cloud masking. By default, this toggle would be set to "off". If users find that the Landsat's cloud masking algorithm erroneously labels beach pixels as cloud pixels, they can activate this switch to disable all cloud masking.

Proposed Solution:

1. Add a toggle switch/button in the user interface, preferably in the settings or preferences section.
2. Link the toggle's state (on/off) to the cloud masking function.
3. When the toggle is "off", the cloud masking algorithm should be bypassed during image processing.

Benefits:

• Provides flexibility to users in handling cloud masking based on their specific site conditions.
• Increases the number of sites where shorelines can be effectively visualized by avoiding false cloud detections.

Drawbacks:

1. Turning off cloud masking might expose actual cloud-covered areas, potentially affecting the accuracy of shoreline extraction in those regions.

Additional Context:

• It would be beneficial to provide a tooltip or help section explaining the purpose and implications of the toggle to guide users in making informed decisions.
