tweak-default: no longer enable the experimental return code

The change is quite new and undocumented (since it is experimental) so it seems
premature to make it available in tweak default. In addition, I am not sure the
new return code are frozen yet (eg: some of the initial feedback have not been
incorporated). Before the release I doubled check (probably with Martin) that
they were not enabled by default and got replied that they were only enabled in
the tests. Have I been aware that they have been also enabled in tweak default I
would I have lobbied to delay that.

I discovered they were in tweak default from users feedback. They found it an
unpleasant and unexpected surprise of 5.7.

So I suggest we no enable enable this experimental feature for Mercurial 5.7 and
revisit this later, when the feature will be more mature.

== New Features ==

 * The amend extension supports the `--currentuser` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--close-branch` argument.

 * The amend extension supports the `--secret` argument.

 * The uncommit extension supports the `rewrite.update-timestamp` config option.

== New Experimental Features ==


== Bug Fixes  ==


== Backwards Compatibility Changes ==

 * A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
   required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
   `sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
   you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
   `run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.

 * The (experimental) narrow extension's wire protocol changed. If
   you're using it, you'll need to make sure to upgrade server and
   client at the same time.

== Internal API Changes ==
