[Dxspider-support] [sysops] Poll to determine what default self spotting option we want.

[Björn Ekelund]

Among the 424 contests supported by the DXLog contest logger, 29 contests
currently allow self spotting.
Among them are all ARRL contests and a fair share of the US state QSO
parties.

I have no problem if individual node operators want to block certain spots
for religious, political, or ideological
reasons but I cannot see how the default handling of self spots could be
determined by a poll. Self spots are a fact.
