feat!: change default read_consistency_interval=5s (#2281)

Previously, when we loaded the next version of the table, we would block
all reads with a write lock. Now, we only do that if
`read_consistency_interval=0`. Otherwise, we load the next version
asynchronously in the background. This should mean that
`read_consistency_interval > 0` won't have a meaningful impact on
latency.

Along with this change, I felt it was safe to change the default
consistency interval to 5 seconds. The current default is `None`, which
means we will **never** check for a new version by default. I think that
default is contrary to most users expectations.
