1456665 - The API for similar_jobs doesn't work with the UI filtering

Description

[Cameron Dawson [:camd]]

When you check or uncheck filtering by ``machine platform`` or ``options`` for similar jobs, it still filters by the same values as the selected job.  But this isn't a UI issue, in this case.  Each job actually has a separate ``job_type_id`` even if they're both, say, ``jit5``.

So that filtering in the UI is useless.  Not sure if we should remove it, or figure out how to fix it on the back-end.  Not certain if it's actually still useful to people.

Since the ``jobs.similar_jobs`` endpoint always filters by the ``job_type_id`` of job in question to find the similar jobs, then it will only get jobs of the same option and platform.
