Fix WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE default value #128147
Conversation
`WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE` seems to be true by default for Linux containers. I have created Web App on B1 service plan and tested 3 options as follows: 1. SSH to Linux container to run `mount | grep home` with `WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE=false` configuration setting. Result: nothing is returned. 2. SSH to Linux container to run `mount | grep home` with `WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE=true` configuration setting. Result: the mount point information is returned. 3. SSH to Linux container to run `mount | grep home` without `WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE` configuration setting specified. Result: the mount point information is returned. Web App start/stop is required for changes to take effect when conducting tests. I am not sure if it behaves differently on other service plans but I have tested B1 only.

Pull request overview
This PR corrects the documentation for the WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_SERVICE_STORAGE setting in Azure App Service Linux custom containers. Based on testing, the default value is true (enabled) rather than false (disabled) as previously documented.
Changes:
- Updated the default behavior description from "disabled" to "enabled"
- Added instructions for disabling persistent storage (setting to
false) - Reorganized the documentation to show disable instructions before enable instructions

The boolean value should be lowercase to match PowerShell conventions. Change 'false' to '$false'.

In PowerShell, the AppSettings parameter expects string values. The boolean value should be quoted as a string: \"false\" instead of false.

I am not sure if it behaves differently on other service plans but I have tested B1 in Switzerland North only.
