 When WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE is local, development, or staging, pingbacks and
 trackbacks should be disabled.

 Unless one remembers to go in and disable pingbacks/trackbacks on a non-
 production environment, pings will be sent out when posts are added or
 updated, which is a common workflow when testing. This is not ideal and
 creates confusion on the receiving end. Disabling them on non-production
 environments default would be a better experience.

 - Both outgoing and incoming should be disabled.
 - If the environment type is not set, or is set to production, pings and
 trackbacks should be left as default (open/enabled).
 - A filter should be added so developers can override this change if
 pingbacks or trackbacks are needed in a non-production environment.
