…opt-out Gutenberg introduced a system of sharing private APIs in #46131. One of the safeguards is a check preventing the same module from opting-in twice so that contributors cannot easily gain access by pretending to be a core module. That safeguard is only meant for WordPress core and not for the released @WordPress packages. However, right now it is opt-out and must be explicitly disabled by developers wanting to install the @WordPress packages. Let's make it opt-out instead. This commit makes the check opt-in rather than opt-out. Its counterpart in the wordpress-develop repo makes WordPress explicitly set the ALLOW_EXPERIMENT_REREGISTRATION to false: WordPress/wordpress-develop#4121

I'm not the best suited to review it as I miss full context, but it seem to resolve the issue. It makes the flag optional only where necessary which is always good.
Unrelated to this PR, I saw recently that process.env is no longer integrated with webpack 5 so maybe it isn't the most future proof method but it will work for WordPress Core that we care about.

Description
Gutenberg introduced a system of sharing private APIs in #46131. One of the safeguards is a check preventing the same module from opting-in twice so that contributors cannot easily gain access by pretending to be a core module.
That safeguard is only meant for WordPress core and not for the released @WordPress packages. However, right now it is opt-out and must be explicitly disabled by developers wanting to install the @WordPress packages. Let's make it opt-out instead.
