kernel linker: Disable local sym resolution by default
In95c20faf11andecd8245e0dkib introduced support to have the kernel linker stop resolving local symbols from other files, but did not enable it by default to avoid surprises. Flip the default now, before FreeBSD 16.0. The debug.link_elf_leak_locals and debug.link_elf_obj_leak_locals sysctls are available to revert to the previous behaviour if necessary.
