Default change: dataTemplateEngine: false in Configuration Object

[zachleat]

For performance reasons.

This appears to be an underutilized feature and could be disabled by default. If you make use of data preprocessing, please chime in here!

The other thing here is the #155 js data files will unlikely support any sort of preprocessing there.

I never knew it was a feature and if it's a performance hit, I'd be in favor of this. You could do the same with a .js file instead of .json, right? So if you can get the same result, I'd say go ahead.

Well, it's the first major version so breakage is allowed. I guess you can't really see how many users have this currently enabled, but we could check the submitted starter templates (as most start with those) and base on that?

If a significant amount of starters don't use it then it makes sense especially if there's a performance hit.

As clarification we would only turn this off by default. You could opt-back in very easily with config https://www.11ty.dev/docs/config/#default-template-engine-for-global-data-files

Default change of "liquid" to false will ship with 1.0.
