Description:
------------
When using the linkNewValue option to generate new forms, it
does not auto-populate the table columns that should be linked
to the previous DB_DataObject. I have added the code below to
fix this.

- Dan Chmielewski

Reproduce code:
---------------
In QuickForm.php:
472 function _prepareForLinkNewValue($elName, $subTable) {
473 if (!isset($this->_linkNewValueDOs[$elName])) {
474 $this->_linkNewValueDOs[$elName] =& DB_DataObject::factory($subTable);
475
<!-- BEGIN PATCH -->
476 if (!is_array( $links = $this->_linkNewValueDOs[$elName]->links() )) {
477 $links = array();
478 }
479 foreach( $links as $field_key => $field ) {
480 $link = explode(':', $field);
481 $this->_linkNewValueDOs[$elName]->$field_key =
482 $this->_fb->_do->$link[1];
483 }
<!-- END PATCH -->
484 $this->_linkNewValueDOs[$elName]->fb_createSubmit = false;
485 $this->_linkNewValueDOs[$elName]->fb_elementNamePrefix = $this->elementNamePrefix.$elName.'_'.$subTable.'__';

Expected result:
----------------
The linked attribute/column ids should automatically be set to
the id of the parent object.

Actual result:
--------------
The linked attribute/column ids have no default setting. The
user must know to pick the right parent ID.
