Provide a way to avoid a recording auto-stop on reload

Often with Timelines I want to record a load, interact with the page and stop. However with since there is an auto stop mechanism (dead time / max timeout) I have no way of guaranteeing the recording won't stop before the end of my interactions. For starters, a way to record without auto-stop, or disable / relax the auto-stop would be great.

This has bugged me for a very long time, this gives me at least one way to avoid an auto-stop.

r=me, I've also wanted this!

I think we could potentially iterate on this UI in the future, but it's a good start. Right now it requires knowing the keyboard shortcut, and pressing override within a potentially very brief window.

My only comment before landing is to fix the "continue" button appearance in dark mode. It's current black-on-darkgray.
