Jakob Borg 8e934a8c69 feat(config): enable multiple connections by default (#10151)
This changes the default number of connections from one to three (one
metadata + two data connections). This should give some advantages of
multiple connections, while also not being an overwhelming change for
larger installations. (Though those may need to tweak their settings
anyway, as always.)

## Major changes in 2.0
- Database backend switched from LevelDB to SQLite. There is a migration on
first launch which can be lengthy for larger setups. The new database is
easier to understand and maintain and, hopefully, less buggy.
- Deleted items are no longer kept forever in the database, instead they are
forgotten after six months. If your use case require deletes to take
effect after more than a six month delay, set the
`--db-delete-retention-interval` command line option or corresponding
environment variable to zero, or a longer time interval of your choosing.
- Modernised command line options parsing. Old single-dash long options are
no longer supported, e.g. `-home` must be given as `--home`. Some options
have been renamed, others have become subcommands. All serve options are
now also accepted as environment variables. See `syncthing --help` and
`syncthing serve --help` for details.
- Rolling hash detection of shifted data is no longer supported as this
effectively never helped. Instead, scanning and syncing is faster and more
efficient without it.
- A "default folder" is no longer created on first startup.
- Multiple connections are now used by default between v2 devices. The new
default value is to use three connections: one for index metadata and two
for data exchange.
