--v8-enable-object-print flag is set by default true. so, no way of disable this flag.
remove --v8-enable-object-print flag.
add a --v8-disable-object-print flag instead that defaults to false.

Fixes: #45433

We could keep --v8-enable-object-print as a valid option in addition to adding --v8-disable-object-print in case anyone is using it, otherwise they'll break

Thanks for your suggestion, I keep the -v8-enable-object-print flag and add the --v8-disable-object-print flag.
If I specify both flags at the same time, We get an exception with a message like Only one of the --v8-enable-object-print or --v8-disable-object-print options an be specified at a time..

I believe this introduced a bug? I cannot use "disable" flag because "enable" flag is default True, so if I "disable" then they're both True...

Downloading the source tarball on Nodejs' website for LTS 18.13.0 yields:

python3 ./configure --prefix=/opt/base --shared-zlib --v8-disable-object-print --without-corepack --without-dtrace --without-etw --without-inspector --without-intl --without-node-code-cache --without-node-snapshot --without-npm --without-ssl

Exception: Only one of the --v8-enable-object-print or --v8-disable-object-print options can be specified at a time.

Even though the enable flag is never specified.

This is because the options object has the argparse defaults resolved, which means the enable flag is True if not specified... :/

Since we're editing this line, might as well fix this typo:
