[Bug]: ddappsec gets installed without the cli option provided about dd-trace-php HOT 2 OPEN

We always install the appsec extension when using this particular installer in order to allow customers to enable application security automatically through the dashboard without having to go through a separate installation process. When using --enable-appsec, we also set datadog.appsec.enabled to On so that the extension isn't only loaded but also active.

If you don't wish to load the appsec extension, my suggestion would be to comment out extension = ddappsec.so from your 98-ddtrace.ini configuration file. Although we'll looking into adding more installer options to allow you to customise your installation.

I agree with @TomKeur and it should be possible to disable installing the appsec extension. Installing it could be the default, with keeping the --enable-appsec. But a --disable-appsec should be an option to avoid installing the extension at all
