feat: disable resource manager by default (#9003)

* feat: disable resource manager by default

We are disabling this by default for v0.13 as we work to improve the

the IPFS config with "ipfs config --bool Swarm.ResourceMgr.Enabled true".

We intend to enable Resource Manager by default in a subsequent
release.
