Merge #15193: Default -whitelistforcerelay to off
a36d97d866e8a11f205d07c624ace7c3d1a2ded8 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.
