[MC-259085] scoreboard enable sets the scoreboard value if not set

When a scoreboard is created or reset it has no value but if it is enabled the value is set to 0.
This can lead to unintended behaviour since it is not what I expect.

How to reproduce:

/scoreboard objectives add test trigger
/scoreboard players enable @s test
/scoreboard players get @s test

Returns 0 instead of an error that the value is not set

MC-107049 Enabling uninitialized trigger also sets score to 0 Resolved

This seems to be intentional, as the enabled state is saved to the score value object:

{Name:"SCOREHOLDER",Objective:"OBJECTIVE",Score:X,Locked:true/false}

All entries in PlayerScores in scoreboard.dat have all values, even those without a trigger objective have Locked.

Additionally, this is the same behavior as using a non-initialized score in /scoreboard players operation, even the source score gets set to 0 if it isn't set.
