Add option to disable writing to `authorized_keys` file

What does this MR do?

Allows us (and customers) to stop writing to the authorized_keys file since we don't use it.

Why was this MR needed?

The authorized_keys file is already not used, so it is wasteful and unexpected to continue writing changes to it.
