Pkg.jl telemetry should be opt-in

I retract that statement: even if using a client uuid implies a potential risk of de-anonymization, that would not mean at all that the data controllers would be able to identify me - or verify my claim of being the user associated to some uuid. In such a situation, a minimal data retention policy like the one presented in the legal notice looks like a reasonable method to ensure the user’s right to data erasure.

With respect to data portability, a local copy of the submitted records might be a solution, as proposed in this issue.
