[Owncloud] How to partially predefine OC settings

[Vladimir Sapronov]

Hi,

I made the change to setup I described before. Here's a pull request:
https://github.com/owncloud/core/pull/4982 The code was already reviewed
and this pull request need to be tested. Can someone test it, please?

Thanks,
Vladimir Sapronov
