For MPF.CLI, the media type can be left unset by the user. This can confusingly result in the CD speed defaults to be used even if the system chosen doesn't include CD as a valid option. If the media type is unset, the default media type for the system should be used instead. A new console print should indicate that this was done.

This request does not include the ability to auto-detect the media type through MPF.CLI. This varies significantly by OS so it cannot be handled gracefully like it can be in the Windows-only UI. There are potential ways around this, but they are not in scope here.
