• Move config-default.yaml default values to hardcoded Lua file（Contributor: bzp2010)

  Apache APISIX has two configuration files: config.yaml which can be modified by users and config-default.yaml, the default configuration file. When APISIX starts, it reads these two configuration files and merges and overwrites the user configuration file with the default configuration to create the configuration that is used at runtime.

  However, in actual use, users are often unclear on how to modify custom configurations. To simplify the configuration process and avoid unintended issues from modifying the default file, we moved the default configuration values to a hardcoded Lua file. This allows users to focus on customizing the config.yaml file without the risk of accidentally changing the default settings.
