storage,server: enable separated intents

Separated intents are enabled by default, and the setting
is randomized on the testing path for testserver.go.

The intent resolution performance, which caused these
to be disabled, has been improved due to
cockroachdb#60622 and
cockroachdb#60698

TestLogic/aggregate is tweaked to reduce the number of
intents created, as explained in the TODO added where
the change was made. The fk and upsert tests also
use higher kv.transaction.max_intents_bytes.

Informs cockroachdb#41720

Release note (ops change): The default value of the
storage.transaction.separated_intents.enabled cluster
setting is changed to true.
