Default masked to false for new variables
What does this MR do?
Change the default value of the masked
parameter for CI Variables to false
When we introduced the masked variables feature, we set the default to true
in order to encourage its use, but it has caused more confusion than good since the usable character set is so small (a limitation of the MVC to ensure that masking wouldn't cause unintended side effects). This merge request reverses that decision.
