qapi: backup: disable copy_range by default

Further commit will add a benchmark
(scripts/simplebench/bench-backup.py), which will show that backup
works better with async parallel requests (previous commit) and
disabled copy_range. So, let's disable copy_range by default.

Note: the option was added several commits ago with default to true,
to follow old behavior (the feature was enabled unconditionally), and
only now we are going to change the default behavior.
