Replicating go-libp2p#440 here as I think we should do it.

Enabling circuit relay by default would be a great, quick win for improved connectivity for libp2p nodes. Since interop was resolved in August, ipfs/interop#27, I think it's reasonable for us to move forward with this change.

This should just involve updating the default config value, readme and tests.

We should leave hop off by default as this could negatively impact performance for nodes and should be opt-in.

I also noticed that the IPFS default libp2p bundles aren't using relay by default and they probably should.
