feat: Disable analytics

Avoid metrics collection by default as this lacks consent required by the GDPR in Europe. It most likely violates Californian privacy laws as well. Additionally, metrics collection on dependencies might expose sensitive information in proprietary projects. Finally, those additional network requests have an impact on overall build-time, especially for CocoaPods. Resolves #5191
