Make support of adjacent lists enabled by default / Two lists of the same type next to each other

[Witoso]

In the 38.1.0 release, we introduced AdjacentListsSupport plugin. It's an opt-in feature specifically for list handling during Word import or pasting. This feature influences how adjacent lists of the same type (either ordered or unordered) are processed. By default, such lists merge, but you can prevent this behavior.

Before (lists are merged):   

After plugin enablement:

A thing that is also missing is a UI option for making such lists. Currently, even with AdjacentListsSupport enabled, there's no option for creation of subsequent lists of the same type. It only works on paste or data load.

We wonder if we should make it enabled by default, or if we should keep it off and merge lists.

Please let us know if you have feedback about this or 👍 for making it enabled by default. Let us know in the comment if the UI for this is something you want as well (ideally with some rational for such content, and examples).

@wimleers it's possible we will enable it by default as a part of the Paste from Office. The feedback isn't massive, but I assume it's something that will not be wildly spoken about. At the same time, it provides more understandable results after pasting.
