Before HIP-904, adding auto-association slots to a contract or account required "pre-paying" for the resources that would be used by the associations.
There was no clear way to make an internal CONTRACT_CREATE cover this pre-payment while also respecting the precedent of child contracts inheriting all the Hedera-native properties of their parent contract.
Therefore we added a contracts.allowAutoAssociations=false property to block all use of auto-association slots with contracts.
But with HIP-904, resources used by associations are always charged at point-of-use to the payer account of the transaction that is creating the association.
So there is need to have this contracts.allowAutoAssociations toggle any more.
