Added feature to allow VMG Chosen Member field to replace EE author dropdown #1

I had a requirement for a site where I wanted a VMG Chosen Member field to automatically update the EE author dropdown. I modified your add-on to do this with a javascript change() listener.

Essentially, it means a VMG Chosen Member field can act as an author select dropdown replacement.

I've added a checkbox fieldtype setting so this functionality can be toggled on or off. For instance, if you're using it to select multiple members you probably don't want to use it to update the author dropdown.

Not sure if you'll find use for this in the add-on, but thought I may as well push a version across to you in case you want to use it or build on it.

Thanks,

Just realised it would be way easier to achieve the author override just simply using the post_save() fieldtype method instead of javascript. I've pushed a commit to this end.
