file-jpeg: (save) Change default coding mode to progressive
This was discussed in #gimp. This would no longer result in strictly baseline JPEGs, but progressive mode has been supported for about a decade in browsers and libjpeg now. Progressive mode brings two advantages: (1) Medium to large images get decent space savings to due to coding of large sequences of zero coefficients, and (2) The images load progressively in a browser which leads to better user experience when viewing medium to large images on a website. Those who want strictly baseline have the option to turn it off.
