Import default license from commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-uploads); if not set it to commons default and describe it with its name

If the license can't not identified from Commons' preferences, please let the user to configure it in the application user settings.

While fetching the initial license from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-uploads is a great idea, what would a setting bring compared to the current behavior (remembering the license chosen last time)?

For context, we already have too many settings, which makes the settings UI difficult to navigate and increases maintenanance burden.
