Please make "New Keys on Reopen" Enabled and "Close client tunnels after specified idle period" on by default

When people set up I2P, they expect an ecosystem where a user can't be tracked site-to-site, or where site operators can't infer information about them based on when they visit. I have seen in a few cases people being disappointed that the default behavior in both I2Pd and Java I2P being the persistence of client tunnel keys for the HTTP proxy. I recommend changing the defaults to something like: Close client tunnels after specified idle period: 60 minutes New Keys on Reopen: Enable.

The concern with close-on-idle by default is the added latency after idle to build new tunnels when the user makes a new request, that's why we've never done it. The benefit would be less network-wide resource usage.

60m idle time or even 6h or longer would mitigate the latency issue somewhat.

An new immediate rekey and reopen on idle option might be a compromise but would be harder.
