Add a `overlays.setVisible(name, visible)` API

[lea108]

Problem to solve

In some scenarios it is desired to just describe for each overlay the conditions when it should be visible or not directly to a setter rather than having to conditionally call add/remove.

For example like this:

game.overlays.setVisible("hud", game.gameState.level > 0 && !game.gameState.paused);

instead of:

if (game.gameState.level > 0 && !game.gameState.paused) {
  game.overlays.add("hud");
} else {
  game.overlays.remove("hud");
}

Proposal

Add a new member function setVisible to OverlayManager.

Sounds like a good addition to the API

Looking a bit more on this. There is isActive and no existing APIs that use the term "visible", so I propose to name the API as setActive() instead.
