I don't think that modifying RenderQuality automatically is such a good
idea here. That will only cause confusion e.g. when the users have a
look at their hatari.cfg afterwards and wonder why the setting was
changed...

I'd say, don't touch RenderQuality here, and if someone minds the
"horrible" scaling (it's a matter of taste anyway), they should change
the RenderQuality setting manually instead.
