Merge #15193: Default -whitelistforcerelay to off

Browse Source 
a36d97d866 Default -whitelistforcerelay to off (Suhas Daftuar)

Pull request description:

  No one seems to use this "feature", and at any rate the behavior of relaying transactions when they violate local policy is error-prone, if we ever consider changing the ban behavior of our software from one version to the next.

  Defaulting this to off means that users who use -whitelist won't be unexpectedly surprised by this interaction.  If anyone is still relying on this feature, it can still be explicitly turned on.

ambiguous whether the hash character is meant for the password or as a

- The `whitelistforcerelay` option is used to relay transactions from
whitelisted peers even when not accepted to the mempool. This option now
defaults to being off, so that changes in policy and disconnect/ban behavior
will not cause a node that is whitelisting another to be dropped by peers.
Users can still explicitly enable this behavior with the command line option
(and may want to consider letting the Bitcoin Core project know about their
use-case, as this feature could be deprecated in the future).
