I thought about this a bit more, and I realized the only reason to make
global-font-lock-mode look carefully at `font-lock-defaults' was to
prevent loading of all of font-lock.el.  Now that we have font-core.el,
this isn't a problem.

So `font-lock-core-only' (and indeed setting `font-lock-defaults' at
all) is unnecessary.  I'll go ahead and commit changes to cause
font-lock mode to default to on in every buffer if global font-lock mode
is enabled.

I've been running with this change for a while, and haven't had a
problem.
