Pull request description:

  This PR removes the `--enable-upnp-default` and `--enable-natpmp-default` options from configure.

  It's odd to me that we maintain configure-time options for setting the default port-forwarding runtime state (but no other similar options), and I'm not sure what use-case it satisfies, that can't be achieved by multiple other means. I also doubt that we'll ever restart using these in release builds, or turning on any of this by default.

  I think the only scenario these options would be used is when you want to compile your own binaries (we don't use them in Guix), with port-forwarding on by default, but otherwise can't or don't want to use a `.conf` file, can't or don't want to pass command line options at runtime, and also don't want to modify the source code?

Build System
------------
The --enable-upnp-default and --enable-natpmp-default options
have been removed. If you want to use port mapping, you can
configure it using a .conf file, or by passing the relevant
options at runtime.
