Docs: Use non-default throughout the documentation

Hackers,

Ended up looking at "non-default" and found four spellings of "nondefault" in the user-facing documentation (vs. 40ish non-default). Patch attached to fix the 4.

I think "non" is not normally used with a hyphen, since it is not a 
standalone word.  So the fix should be the other way around.

Maybe it’s ironic.

I was looking at other words too, and indeed the absence of hyphen is prevalent.

Agree on moving to nondefault.
