Allow using both enabled and skipToken in the same query

I've read #7057 and it still seems to me that skipToken should be able to override enabled: true. The reply doesn't really explain why that behavior is either not possible or undesirable.

We have the same use case that @averageokguy had: One file defines the queries using queryOptions. In this file, we use skipToken to determine when a query can possibly run:

// queries.ts
const postByAuthorId = (authorId: number | undefined) =>
  queryOptions({
    queryKey: ["posts-by-author", authorId],
    queryFn: authorId ? () => fetchPostByAuthorId(authorId) : skipToken,
  });

In our components, we may have additional restrictions on when we want the query to run. For example, maybe we have a "Show more by this author" that shows more of this author's posts. I'd like to handle it by using enabled:

function Post(props) {
  const [showMoreByAuthor, setShowMoreByAuthor] = useState(false);

  const { data } = useQuery({
    ...postByAuthorId(props.post.authorId),
    enabled: showMoreByAuthor,
  });

  return <div>
    ...
    {showMoreByAuthor ?
        <PostList posts={data} />
      : <button onClick={() => setShowMoreByAuthor(true)}>Show more</button>}
  </div>
}

My intention here is that the query cannot run if queryFn resolves to skipToken. It would only run if both queryFn is a function and enabled is true/undefined.

I think throwing on refetch is reasonable if the queryFn is skipToken, but it seems like { queryFn: skipToken, enabled: true } should be allowed and handled as a disabled query.

skipToken is implemented in a way that it sets enabled to false:

query/packages/query-core/src/queryClient.ts

Lines 598 to 603 in edec4a6

	if (
	defaultedOptions.enabled !== true &&
	defaultedOptions.queryFn === skipToken
	) {
	defaultedOptions.enabled = false
	}

but it seems like { queryFn: skipToken, enabled: true } should be allowed and handled as a disabled query.

If I understand this correctly, we could achieve this by simplifying the condition?

if (defaultedOptions.queryFn === skipToken) {
  defaultedOptions.enabled = false
}

?

That seems right to me!
