AOF: enable RDB-preamble rewriting by default.

There are too many advantages in doing this, RDB is faster to persist,
more compact, much faster to load back. The main issues here are that
the code is less tested because this was not the old default (so we are
enabling it for the new 5.0 release), and that the AOF is no longer a
trivially parsable format from now on. However the non-preamble mode
will be supported in the future as well, if new data types will be
added.
