Access settings to see if should upvote on quickpost

Quickpost Auto-Like Issue

As a relatively new user to Steem I was drawn to the quick post feature on the Busy mobile site as it's very familiar for twitter users.

One thing that really bugged me about the quickpost is that whenever you would use it, your account would automatically like the post after. I couldn't find a solution on the site so I filed this bug report.

I received a thumbs up from one of the developers so I decided to try to make the modification. The end result is not a lot of code, but it did take some time to setup the environment, try a few solutions, lint, and commit.

My original solution involved creating a whole new settings value to track this, but after creating it I found getUpvoteSetting already existed as a setting (despite not being on the settings page). This function gets the setting which controls the checkbox on the normal post page.

After finding what the original developers had done with regular posts, I was able to slim down my commit, making it the minimum change necessary to improve the end-user experience.

I plan to add this setting to the Settings page, as it isn't there now, but BonusTrack said to do so in a second pull request.
