Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1322620
Description of problem:
When creating a new Product Repo, the "Download Policy" field is unpopulated by default. Furthermore, continuing on w/o selecting a Download policy defaults to "On Demand", which is the last option in the dropdown.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

SNAP 6

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install fresh satellite, start creating product repos.
2. Observe the "Download Policy" field which is blank. Do not select anything
3. Submit

Actual results:

Repo can be created w/o immediately/knowingly selecting any Download Policy
The Download policy selected is the last one in the list, not even the first one.

Expected results:

A bit more intuitive behavior, at least an option prepopulated in there.

Additional info:
< mmccune> cswiii: im pretty sure it will default to the site-wide default in Settings

This is fine, but in this case it means we should pre-select/autopopulate the site-wide default in the dropdown.

This is a really small thing, but it is going to confuse new user, especially those trying out the new feature.
