options: disable --input-ime by default

Enabling IME by default can cause problems when the player is
expecting keybinds and not text input. Windows IME implementation
mitigates this by switching IME to alphanumeric mode,
but this is impossible on Wayland with the text input protocol.

Disable it by default and add a note to recommend enabling IME only on
demand, like console.lua.

.. note::
Enabling IME can cause problems with key bindings, because mpv cannot
detect any key presses when they go into the IME pre-edit area.
It is recommended to enable IME on demand only for the duration
while text input is expected.
The builtin console and input selector enable IME for the duration
of accepting text input.
