Enabling/Disabling DisplayLink Manager autostart via command line

Since DisplayLink Manager 1.4 this setting is implemented using MacOS defaults system.
The -autostart parameter in DisplayLink Manager application has been removed and can no longer be used.

To enable the application autostart please execute the following command:
defaults write com.displaylink.DisplayLinkUserAgent AppAutostart 1

To disable the application autostart please execute the following command:
defaults write com.displaylink.DisplayLinkUserAgent AppAutostart 0

Note: This is the same autostart setting that is available in menu bar GUI - changes to this setting made via above commands will be reflected there and vice versa.
