    Issue #5630: Sample Merged as defaults in Color Picker tool.
    
    The rational: advanced users won't really care about defaults (they know
    to switch this option on/off depending on situation) but maybe beginners
    would be less confused to pick "what they see" on first use, rather than
    picking on the active layer? Now whatever is the default won't change
    anyone's daily usage of GIMP. Clearly every image and use case is
    different, so both with or without sample merged are useful one time or
    another (this is why the option exists). It's really about the less
    surprising option for beginners, based on usage statistics.
    
    I ran a small poll on Twitter/Reddit/Patreon/Tipeee and ended up with
    numbers of 131 for switching to "Sample merged" as default and 43
    against, which is about 75% in favor. So let's just switch. It makes
    sense anyway.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 578e3b0bd9423adfa9e0b0db15a312b198b8205b)
