*: do not send opaque data to zebra by default
Opaque data takes up a lot of memory when there are a lot of routes on the box. Given that this is just a cosmetic info, I propose to disable it by default to not shock people who start using FRR for the first time or upgrades from an old version. Fixes #10101.

+This command turns on the ability of BGP to send extra data to zebra. Currently,
+it's the AS-Path, communities, and the path selection reason. The default
+behavior in BGP is not to send this data. If the routes were sent to zebra and
+the option is changed, bgpd doesn't reinstall the routes to comply with the new
+setting.
