Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The out of camera jpeg is usually really close to what I want but the raw takes quite a lot of effort to get there.
Describe the solution you'd like
To get the jpeg as starting point for the raw file, like rawtherapee has with auto-matched-curve.
This should probably be a separate mode than sigmoid, filmic and those things as starting point
Alternatives
I've personally often edited the jpegs as alternatives but that's not ideal.
Additional context
the kind of photography I do is mostly outdoor events and activities.
I encounter this is for every single picture I will edit.
This has also resulted in me shooting jpeg+raw but with this feature I wouldn't need the jpegs which would mean that I need less SD cards

Research direction
The issue names no source files or tests. Start by reviewing how darktable currently provides sigmoid and filmic starting modes, then compare the requested behavior with RawTherapee's auto-matched-curve. Done should mean a raw file can use the camera JPEG as its starting point without requiring the JPEG to be retained.
