Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64622

Enable RTC by default (opt-out). This reverses a previous decision for WP 7.0 Beta 1 to keep it opt-in.

Note that we must update the option name since the previous option name set a default value during database initialization. We have removed the option from initialization so that future updates will not require an option name change.

Why do we need this after the flip?

We are testing both code paths, both default and when it has been disabled.

I'm adding the filter for both code paths in case we change our mind on opt-in / opt-out. That way, no code changes will be needed.

I think it's fine to have the code changes tbh, but I don't mind either way

The option name is changed since the previous option name set a default value during database initialization. A default is no longer needed since the default is false.

Developed in: #11159.

Fixes #64622.
