Option to disable attaching to persistent connections

Three options are provided to control scanning of persistent
(pre-satrted) connections in config-auto folder, and how they
are attached to.

Auto: Scan and list persistent connections and attach to their
      management i/f automatically at startup, and periodically
      retry on failure to attach.
Manual: Scan and list as above, but do not attach automatically.
      User can attach to such connections by manually clicking
      connect.
Never: Do not scan config-auto folder.

Default is "Auto"

Change of this setting in the settings menu will take full effect
only if none of the connections are in connecting/connected/detached
state so that the connection list can be updated. Otherwise
restart the GUI.

TODO: Copying the settings dialog changes to all languages
