[I] Add configuration option for default `run_on_latest_version` behavior on DAG clears/reruns [airflow]
nathadfield opened a new issue, #60887:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/60887
### Description
Currently, clearing or rerunning a DAG defaults to using the original bundle version for reproducibility.
While users can manually select `run with latest version` in the UI or pass `run_on_latest_version=True` via API, there is no configuration option to set an organization-wide default. This requires manual intervention on every rerun, which can be inconsistent across teams.
Add a configuration option (e.g., `[dag_processor] default_clear_run_on_latest_version = false`) to allow administrators to set their organization's preferred default behavior, while still allowing per-operation overrides via UI/API.
### Use case/motivation
Different organizations have different philosophies:
- Development/staging environments may prefer always using the latest code to catch issues early
- Production environments may prefer reproducibility for debugging
- Fast-moving teams may want bug fixes automatically included in reruns without manual selection
Currently, teams must remember to check/uncheck the "run with latest version" box every time, leading to inconsistent behavior and potential for human error.
A configurable default would align with organizational policy while maintaining flexibility for exceptions.

@nathadfield We are unassigning you from this issue as part of our updated [assignment policy](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/04_how_to_contribute.rst#contribute-code-changes).
This is not meant to discourage your contribution — quite the opposite! You are still very welcome to work on this issue and submit a PR for it. Simply comment that you are working on it and open a PR when ready.
We found that formal assignments were not working well, as they often prevented others from contributing when the assignee was not actively working on the issue.

I don't think it should be a config in [dag_processor], maybe [core]. If configured, it should decide whether the run on latest version in the UI is checked or not
