[mythtv] Adding default User Job setting per recording profile

[Bryan Mayland]

I've got a User Job that symlinks my recording to another directory with 
a filename like programname/episodename.mpg in a file system that's 
exported to my xbox media center.  Fantastic!  However, every time I 
schedule a recording that I want exported (most of them) I have to 
enable user job #1 from the recording settings screen, kinda an 
inconvenience, and this function isn't available on mythweb.

So what I was going to do was add a default for the user jobs so they're 
not always disabled by default.  First I thought I'd put the default per 
job in the backend setup, but that's not a good idea because it's 
per-backend, which may or may not be a good idea. 

My next idea was to add this as a per-recording profile item, which fits 
with the "Automatically transcode after" per-profile option.  The only 
disadvantage I can see here is when you change the recording profile 
from "Storage Options", it would automatically modify the settings in 
"Post Recording Processing".  I don't know if that's a big deal or not.  
The defaults would be stored in the recordingprofiles table and will be 
copied to the record table into the autouserjob* fields.

So before I make these changes and submitted a patch, is there any 
opposition to me implementing it that way?  Anyone have any better ideas?
