Replying to a message on the web interface should quote by default #4

When pressing a Reply link under a message, the UI shows an empty text box to type the reply, with an option to press Quote button above to add the quoted text of the original message. I think, the quoted text should be added by default, as you click on the Reply link.

The message will be eventually sent to a mailing list. Without quoting by default, the current UI encourages the user to not quote anything at all, and such messages are difficult to read in an email client as they are lacking any context. We have a section regarding proper quoting in our discussion guidelines, and it would be nice if the UI helped the user to follow them.

@gregnewman is this something you could look into? Have a django config setting HYPERKITTY_REPLY_AUTOQUOTE. If that's True, then clicking "Reply" has the effect of "Reply" + "Quote", and populates the entry field with quoted text. If HYPERKITTY_REPLY_AUTOQUOTE is (False, None, not set, missing) keep the current behavior.
