Disable loading of third-party libraries​

Diva allows disabling the loading of a third-party library by inserting the value false (boolean) instead of the string containing the library's URL.
By doing so, if Diva needs the relative library, it assumes that the library has already been loaded and avoids loading it again.
This can improve startup performances.
Note: It is the integrator's responsibility to ensure the preloading of the necessary libraries.
