Add configuration option to disable inlined CSS in SSR HTML

When inlining CSS, Angular Universal needs to extract critical styles.
This seems to take up a significant chunk of processing time.

However, loading may appear less smooth when this feature is disabled.

Added to the configuration to make it easier to A/B test this without a full re-build.
