Description

We have recently migrated to Django-cms 4, and the placeholder conf settings for default_plugins seem to have been completely removed.
When looking at the source code, and comparing this with older projects running on CMS 3 it seems to have been removed.

We have also found a git commit where the code has been removed:
eef5cbb

Despite it seemingly being removed, docs still have a reference to the PLACEHOLDER_CONF.default_plugins:
https://docs.django-cms.org/en/latest/reference/configuration.html#cms-placeholder-conf

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade to DjangoCMS 4
2. Create PLACEHOLDER_CONF with 'default_plugins' key.
3. Nothing happens when rendering the placeholder

Expected behaviour

Fill the page with default plugins when the model is first created or the page is first rendered.

Actual behaviour

Nothing, as the code is removed.
