Description

It would be nice to add a new parameter to the `extra_data` sent to WordPress.com via `jetpack.subscribeToSite` when a reader subscribes:
https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/3.0.2/modules/subscriptions.php#L318

If that parameter could be set via a filter and allowed blog owners to set a default delivery schedule (instant, daily, weekly), it would be really useful on blogs with a lot of posts.

Research direction

Start in modules/subscriptions.php around line 318 and trace the subscription form through jetpack.subscribeToSite and its extra_data payload. Identify how a filter can provide a blog owner's default delivery schedule, then verify that instant, daily, and weekly values are passed for new subscriptions.
