Modeler creates invalid Job Worker type user task

[nikku]

Describe the bug

Zeebe user tasks are the standard, and job worker type user tasks are completely removed from Camunda 8.7+. We initially solved this through linting, however the default user task created still is of type "job worker". This means I always receive an error initially, and always manually need to switch to Zeebe User Task everytime I create a new user task.

This is not a friendly user journey:

Steps to reproduce

1. Create user task
2. See error (in 8.7), "not supported"
3. Change to Zeebe user task, so everything is good

Expected behavior

I expect that I'm not bothered with random error messages, when my clear intention is to

(1) just model a user task (no implementation)
(2) implement a user task for a modern Camunda version, where I expect Zeebe Usertask to be the default

We need to investigate if "just modeling" a user task (not attaching any form) is an acceptable scenario; in the past we received back-preasure trying to mark user tasks without a form as an error. In that case I'd expect to not see any error, too.

Environment
