Message:

Introduced 'Autolink' setting for XProfile fields.

Since BP 1.1, XProfile fields have been "autolinked". This means that a user's
entry for profile fields is linked to a search of the Members directory, using
that field's value as a search term. For short values - say, "Wichita, KS" for
the field "City" - the entire field value would be a link to a member search
on the phrase "Wichita, KS". For longer values, as in a multiline text field,
an algorithm detects "lists" (words between commas) and creates links
from them.

This feature was intended to aid in user discovery and serendipity. Sometimes
it works. But sometimes it makes very little sense.

This changeset introduces the ability for administrators to configure this
setting, on a per-field basis.

• The new Autolink metabox on the XProfile Field Admin panel lets admin enable or disable the feature.
• Smart defaults are pre-selected for new fields, or fields for which no value has yet to be saved. Namely: "multi fields" like checkboxes and radio buttons have Autolink enabled by default, while "single fields" have it disabled.

Fixes #787.
