AutoPlay preferred quality if it exists in iTunes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is a autoplay feature for highest quality, but would be nice if there was 
one for preferred quality. If the preferred one does not exist then show menu 
as per normal.

Would it be an option to change the description and functionality of the 
existing setting to "preferred" instead of "Highest" ?

I thought about this a little, this is how I would do it:

* Get rid of "AalwaysPlaybackHighestQuality" option.
* "PreferredVideoQuality" would work like this: try to play user selected 
quality, then next lowest, then next lowest... Instead of trying lower quality, 
you could also show a dialog.
* Add true/false option "AlwaysAskVideoQuality", which would always show dialog 
if set to true, selected would be "PreferredVideoQuality".

Added in r1042 (will be available in site update asap).

Changed setting to: AlwaysPlaybackPreferredQuality.
If this setting is true it will start playback with the preferred quality.
If this preferred quality is not available then the dialog will be shown to the 
user.
The highest quality available will be pre-selected in this dialog.
