------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In #9386 we made clients use CREATE_FAST less, and changed the value in
 the consensus to 0. But we still use the default of 1 when bootstrapping
 (because there is no consensus).

 We should change this default to 0.

 Sticking this in 0.3.1 because it's a security hole for the reasons
 mentioned in #9386. (I'd go for 0.3.0, but that's frozen, and this change
 could introduce bootstrapping bugs.)
