Pull Request resolves #48033.
Replacement for #48083 (could not reopen after I closed it).

Summary of Changes
The JobPosting plugin currently writes the form values Telecommute, Onsite and Hybrid straight into jobLocationType. Google only accepts TELECOMMUTE there, so Rich Results Test flags the markup.
This maps the values when the JSON-LD is compiled:
- Telecommute / Hybrid →
TELECOMMUTE(Hybrid still keeps the physicaljobLocation) - Onsite → omit
jobLocationTypeand keepjobLocation
Form values and stored data are unchanged.
Testing Instructions
- Enable the "System - Schema.org" and "Schema.org - JobPosting" plugins, and set Schema.org as active for articles.
- Create an article, open its Schema tab, select the JobPosting type, and set the job location field to Onsite (repeat later with Hybrid and Telecommute). Save.
- View the article on the frontend and inspect the
application/ld+jsonblock in the page source, or run the URL through Google's Rich Results Test.
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
The JSON-LD contains "jobLocationType": "Onsite" (or "Hybrid" / "Telecommute"), which Google flags as invalid.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
Onsite: no jobLocationType in the output, only jobLocation. Hybrid and Telecommute: "jobLocationType": "TELECOMMUTE", with the physical jobLocation still present for Hybrid.

Thanks @Otto-Deviant1904 for this PR, and @muhme and @ThomasFinnern for testing.
Thanks @richard67 for merging, and thanks @muhme and @ThomasFinnern for the thorough testing — really appreciated. Happy to keep contributing around the schema.org plugins; there are a few more spec-compliance gaps worth tidying up (I'll open issues as I confirm them).
