feat(global-dired-collapse-mode): new feature

[Boruch-Baum]

This automatically applies dired-collpase-mode to all new dired buffers.

Thank you, this is a good idea.

In Emacs there is a macro define-globalized-minor-mode for making global modes. I think it might be a bit cleaner to use it to define the global version of this mode.

I've never used that macro because it does a lot of stuff I've never found necessary. The major advantage of it IMO is that it imposes more uniformity on Elisp code, but at the expense of bloat.

However, the bloat is invisible to the user and it adds a lot of value for maintenance.

I added the global mode using the macro define-globalized-minor-mode in dab22a3dcf3b40c3be0f981eff872199a552800b . Personally I feel like the consistency and maintainability outweighs some extra maybe unnecessary code which the macro generates.

Thanks for the idea, I like it!
