Item n: Option to turn off 'ask the operator'

What: I would like to be able to turn off 'ask the operator'.
When bacula has a problem, it sometimes pauses the job and attempts to
ask the operator to help it. It will then wait forever, or until a
timeout.
Instead, I would like it to fail the job instantly, without attempting
to ask the operator.
An example of the situation that I am talking about is when bacula
has a job in the state 'waiting for a mount request'.
Why: Whenever the 'ask the operator' situation has happened to me, it has
proven impossible to make bacula happy and get the job running again.
In order to make the 'ask the operator' status go away and cancel the
job quickly, I have attempted to tweak various timeout values. But if
you set them too low, you start accidently cancelling jobs that are
taking their time for other reasons.
Set them higher and you just have the job in the 'ask the operator'
status hanging around for a pointlessly long time.
I would much prefer it to just cancel the job instantly.
