Henrik Lissner 24164f4869 Disable use-package's :ensure t property by default ...

Many packages recommend setting up their packages with something like:

  (use-package PACKAGE
    :ensure t
    ...)

New users will frequently copy these into their config, then experience
long startup times or a cryptic error about the package failing to
install.

This is because `:ensure t`, by default, uses package.el (Emacs'
built-in package manager) to check for and install packages, but Doom
doesn't use package.el, it uses straight.el. So we disable `:ensure`.

On the other hand, if the user has loaded `package` by hand, then we
should assume that they know what they're doing, and restore the old
behavior.
