Kshitij Sobti 3cd3c60b59 feat: enable unit-level control over discussions by default (#30903)
This PR changes the default behaviour of the discussions experience by making the previous "unit-level
visibility" the default mechanism for configuring discussions.

Prior to this PR, under the new discussions configuration experience, all units would automatically get
assigned a discussion topic and have discussions enabled for them (other than units in graded or exam
subsections). However, if authors wanted they could enabled a custom visibility mode which would allow
toggling discussions on or off on a per-unit level.

This PR makes this custom visibility mode the standard behaviour (and eventually, only behaviour)
and enables discussion for all units by default. This replicates the behaviour that already existed,
however, now gives authors control over disabling discussions for individual units by default.

It also removes the ability to disable discussions for all units (while still keeping course-wide
discussions) enabled.
