While the original intent of the suppress ordinal feature was to accommodate individual content nodes like acknowledgements or prefaces that were out of the flow, some authors either want no numbering entirely, or the ability to control the numbering to line up with other course material or schedules (like "Week 3") that don't neatly map to a structured hierarchy.
Allow setting the entire book to be default unnumbered.
Under the hood this just controls whether newly-recreated nodes get the unnumbered flag, and/or whether existing nodes get the flag toggled.
To be discussed:
What happens to existing node numbering when the casebook-level option is toggled? Do we preserve existing numbers? Do we force each node to match the global setting? (Letting people choose to retain existing numbering could be over-indexing on a rare occurrence.)
Once a book is "unnumbered", the option to number/unnumber an individual node should probably no longer be available.
