gh: opt out of telemetry collection by default 

Starting with release 2.91.0 gh sends pseudonymized telemetry data to
GitHub. Disabling it requires and explicit opt-out.

Context: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-22-github-cli-opt-out-usage-telemetry/

This changes makes telemetry collection opt in. If users really want to
share data with GitHub, they can `overrideAttrs` and explicitly set the
new `enableTelemetry` parameter to `true`.
