Consider automatically adding RecipesForm as an install task if the profile lists any optional recipes

Right now, any optional recipe groups your profile defines will not be exposed to the user unless the profile specifically has RecipeForm in the forms array. That's the default, but it's a bit tricky. It might make sense to automatically put RecipeForm into the pre-database install tasks if the profile lists any optional recipe groups. I'm not sure, though; would this violate the principle of least surprise? Would it be good DX? Worth considering.

    Ultimately, I think this probably makes sense.

    If you wanted to use your own recipe selection form, you'd be writing custom PHP, and you'd like alter the alterations made by Hooks::installTasksAlter() to do that.

    Making it as easy as possible to create recipe-based installers is the goal here, so I think this is a worthwhile feature.
