Increase the default value for the maximum number of recently-opened
files from 10 to 20. Also change the user's preference on version bump
to this new value if their current value is exactly the old default.

There is a concern with #104678 that users will create more backups than currently and will therefore quickly fill their "Recent Files" list. This list currently shows only 10 files by default, although this can be changed in Preferences. This PR changes the default value and also changes the user's value to 20 on version bump if it is set to 10. This means there is no change if they have intentionally changed the preference to a non-default value.

Seems fine, would like @JulianEisel to sign off on it too.

Minor knit-pick, this exposes a weakness in Blender's menus. [Ctrl-O, Enter] is less likely to re-open the current file as it's more likely the menu is clamped within the view bounds. Although the issue already exists and we might look into an improvement separately from this PR.
