Enable compact language links by default (move it out of beta)

Description

I tried to install ULS locally and enable compact language links.
I changed the localsettings to include ULS extension, and enabled it by using $wgULSEnable=true as the doc states:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector

$wgULSEnable - Enable language selection, compact language links, input methods and webfonts for everyone, unless the behavior is overridden by the configuration variables below. Even if false the classes and resource loader modules are registered for the use of other extensions. Language changing via cookie or setlang query parameter is not possible.

I don't have BetaFeatures extension locally as it isn't requirement for ULS.

For now you just need to set $wgULSCompactLanguageLinksBetaFeature to false. This variable will be removed in some future release and then it is enabled by default.

@Amire80 what are the plans to move it outside beta? I understand it is enabled by default in most wikis, including enwiki, and users can disable it using preference ("Use a compact language list, with languages relevant to you.").
(wgULSCompactLanguageLinksBetaFeature variable should be deleted)
