Johannes Schindelin 0527ccb1b5 add -i: default to the built-in implementation
In 9a5315edfd (Merge branch 'js/patch-mode-in-others-in-c',
2020-02-05), Git acquired a built-in implementation of `git add`'s
interactive mode that could be turned on via the config option
`add.interactive.useBuiltin`.

The first official Git version to support this knob was v2.26.0.

In 2df2d81ddd (add -i: use the built-in version when
feature.experimental is set, 2020-09-08), this built-in implementation
was also enabled via `feature.experimental`. The first version with this
change was v2.29.0.

More than a year (and very few bug reports) later, it is time to declare
the built-in implementation mature and to turn it on by default.

We specifically leave the `add.interactive.useBuiltin` configuration in
place, to give users an "escape hatch" in the unexpected case should
they encounter a previously undetected bug in that implementation.

add.ignoreErrors::
add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the `--ignore-errors`
option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
variables.
add.interactive.useBuiltin::
Set to `false` to fall back to the original Perl implementation of
the interactive version of linkgit:git-add[1] instead of the built-in
version. Is `true` by default.
