Extend Print Widget so that the user can toggle labels on/off for dynamic web maps.

TorbjornSvangård — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 11:53:08 GMT

For some reason there is already an option to toggle labels on/off, but only appears if there is a layer with the class esri.layers.LabelLayer in the web map. To make this option more useful, I think it should add showLabels false to the layerDefinition in the Web_Map_to_JSON. Please check following patch, based on WAB 2.9, to understand what I mean.
