#20045: Delete User should default to "Attribute all posts and links to:"

When deleting a user in WordPress the radio button defaults to "Delete all
posts and links." If a user does not read or understand what they are
doing, the results can be a potential loss of all posts.
A better user experience would be to default to "Attribute all posts and
links to:" then even if the data is attributed to the wrong user, at least
no data is lost if the person does not read the options.
Although this is a minor change the result would save a lot of pain for
the end user. An example of where this may happen is when a web developer
sets up a website for a client, after handing over the website the client
deletes the web developers user account without reading or understanding
the options.
