I’ve added a setting that allows the banner to be dismissed 🎉

After updating the component you’ll have access to a `can be dismissed` theme setting. When enabled you’ll be able to click the `x` to hide the banner.

Note that this utilizes browser localStorage, so the dismissal is per-browser. So if you dismiss it on desktop you’ll also need to dismiss it on mobile (this is a limitation with how themes work).

Thanks for the suggestion everyone!
