Originally created by @WantToLearnJapanese on GitHub (Aug 13, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/826

Currently behavior: archive methods (select at least 1, otherwise all will be used by default)
Expected behavior: Configurable default options when I choose nothing.

I know: I can opt-out methods by set SAVE_* as False.
=> But: It just disables the functionality. If I SAVE_PDF=False, even I select pdf, Archivebox does nothing.

I propose to add the config option to set a list of defaults methods (which could be passed to the "extractors" argument of this function.

Can't promise I'll get around to adding this myself anytime soon, but I'd be down to review PRs to add a DEFAULT_EXTRACTORS option that takes a CSV of extractor names to enable by default.

It should modify the archivebox add, archivebox schedule, and /add/ interaces to use that set by default, but still allow overriding with --extract=somedisableddextractor,etc or by choosing in the UI list.
