The ordering of job preferences in net lobby are saved in config.xml.

- Added a coroutine which will save the current settings to the config.xml file if no further changes to the preferences are applied after 10 seconds.

-The default ordering is now Engineer, Mechanic, Captain, Security, Doctor and Assistant.
