Please clearly explain how to suppress `zzz.R` in final rendered content #1609

While using gtsummary in a Quarto document for table generation in a professional report, I was surprised to intermittently see #Uighur and #BlackLivesMatter in the final rendered output.

I then spent a significant amount of time assuming I had a compromised RStudio or quarto installation, and was preparing to wipe and reinstall everything, before I came across the gtsummary/R/zzz.R file, which has been present for several years now.

Regardless of whether I agree or disagree with the sentiments (I do, in fact, agree), I DO NOT want this to have a 20% chance of being inserted without my knowledge into reports that I am disseminating to my hospital leadership.

This is very unprofessional and concerning behavior on the part of gtsummary developers.

If the message is to be inserted, please at least make it VERY clear how to suppress its insertion into final rendered documents.

I'm hoping that suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(gtssummary)) will be sufficient to avoid needing to explain myself to my bosses.

I hope this free software has been useful for you.
