Revert rev 1.332 and keep ddb scripts off by default for now. Minidumps
are more flexable and much text-dump like output can be produced from
them so there's a good argument they are a better default.
I think a contrast is being set up here that isn't quite the case: DDB scripts
work fine with minidumps *and* textdumps, so the choice is not "DDB scripts or
minidumps", it's "textdumps or minidumps". Someone(tm) needs to add support
to ddb(8) to extract the DDB textdump buffer from a minidump, in which case
you might well want a crash-time script that captures, say, witness output
data, and then saves it in the minidump to be extracted after reboot. I'm
fine with the default remaining minidumps, but think we should make sure to
think of the various elements of my recent DDB work (output capture,
scripting, and textdumps) as separable and reusable.
