Description
As the doc said:
This will make sure test1 and TestA::test2 will run in the same worker. Tests without the xdist_group mark are distributed normally as in the --dist=load mode.
the --dist loadgroup could be just a kind of extension of --dist load, make it as default value should be safe and also very convenient to users too.

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line handling and default value for --dist in the repository, then trace the tests covering distribution modes. Check how an omitted --dist currently behaves and how explicit values are preserved. Done means the default uses loadgroup while explicit distribution modes continue to work, with the relevant tests updated.
