Summary: Enable cosmetic_changes; by default do only foolproof things

Initial Comment:
Currently cosmetic_changes is set to 'False'; thus cosmetic_changes.py is totally disabled! This is because some RegExps in that script are not ready for autonomous use or do controversial changes.

But bots could do little, *foolproof* changes like
            r'(?i)<br>': r'<br />',
            r'(?i)</br>': r'<br />',
etc. without making any problems (note: inside of <pre> or <nowiki> tags, changes are not considered in any event by the script)!

Please enable cosmetic_changes by operating with two groups; one for "foolproof" changes that are done by default, and one for yet to be tested and maybe controversial changes!
