This makes the new unsaved-changes (dirty) indicator on view and editor tabs the default by flipping SHOW_DIRTY_INDICATOR_ON_TABS_DEFAULT to true.
The indicator was introduced as opt-in in 4.40 and was generally well received.
Making it opt-out during this development cycle means developers and users exercise it by default and can give feedback, while anyone who prefers the old close-button behavior can still disable it on the Appearance preference page.
If it does not prove mature enough we can easily revert to opt-in before release.

Implements #4045

Flip SHOW_DIRTY_INDICATOR_ON_TABS_DEFAULT to true so the dirty
indicator introduced in 4.40 becomes opt-out, gathering broader
feedback during this development cycle.
