 When embeds were introduced in #10337, an option for turning off (enabled
 by default) auto-embeds was added without much discussion as to whether
 the option was actually necessary.

 We should remove it. Our oEmbed implementation is pretty strict, requiring
 [embed] tags or for the URL to appear on its own line, and be whitelisted,
 so there aren't any valid concerns about accidentally messing with
 someone's content. Especially with Twitter embeds really getting a lot of
 attention in 3.4, this option is just cruft and gets in the way of users
 trying to embed things.

 Along with #21507, I get another half-credit for removing an option. (“Add
 one, remove two...”)
