It directly affects node security and the default here MUST BE the safe choice
which is to do the verification. Otherwise it's just dangerous, absent any
VerifyBlocks configuration we'll get an insecure node. This option is not
supposed to be frequently used and it doesn't affect the ability to process
blocks, so breaking compatibility (in a safe manner) should be OK here.
I do see some reduced testing time for cli components with this setting even
though it doesn't affect the overall time for me. Maybe it'll be beneficial in
some cases. Refs. #2379.
Refs. #2379, but not completely solves it, one package seriously outweights
others:

Still a nice thing to have.
HF_ prefix makes zero sense to me. If it's "hardfork", then it's in the
"Hardforks" section already. If it's "hotfix", then it made some sense back
when it was HF_2712_FixSyscallFees, but now it's codenamed anyway. So we can
drop it and have a cleaner config.
