config/privacy: Change GoogleAnalytics.RespectDoNotTrack default to true

@chalin

By default, with the Google Analytics template, we do not respect the browser's "do not track" setting:

hugo/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/google_analytics.html

Lines 9 to 18 in e08d9af

    
           if ({{ site.Config.Privacy.GoogleAnalytics.RespectDoNotTrack }}) { 
        
             var dnt = (navigator.doNotTrack || window.doNotTrack || navigator.msDoNotTrack); 
        
             var doNotTrack = (dnt == "1" || dnt == "yes"); 
        
           } 
        
           if (!doNotTrack) { 
        
             window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; 
        
             function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} 
        
             gtag('js', new Date()); 
        
             gtag('config', '{{ . }}'); 
        
           }

I can't think of a good reason for overriding a visitor's preferences.

I suggest we deprecate this config setting and always respect the visitor's preference.
