Bug Description

In +choose-affected-product:
 * Auto-select the corresponding radio button when typing in a text field. (See also bug 84908, bug 99519, and bug 202407.)
 * Default to the email address of the project's bugtracker if it's an Email Address tracker.
 * Dynamically grey-out the irrelevant text fields. The project registration page has a good example of this when you're asked about code hosting.

The dynamic grey-out conflicts with the auto-selection of radio buttons. I guess we can try both and see which is more intuitive.

Auto-selecting the radio button prioritizes efficiency over obviousness. Disabling the text field prioritizes obviousness over efficiency.

As suggested in bug 84908, bug 99519, and bug 202407, when the stuff dependent on a radio button amounts to little more than a single text field, I think it's ok to prioritize efficiency over obviousness.

 * Move the text fields to below each radio option, rather than to the right. This will help to avoid horizontal scrolling problems, and may be more consistent with Launchpad as a whole.
