[GNC] New auto-clear splits pop-up in reconcile

[Sherlock]

Hi Bruce,

This was discussed on the gnucash-devel mailing list last month: 
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2025-November/047164.html

Select Auto-clear if you want GnuCash to apply it's guess of which of 
the remaining uncleared transactions need to be cleared to balance the 
reconcile.

Select Cancel if you do not want GnuCash to apply it's guess of which of 
the remaining uncleared transactions need to be cleared to balance the 
reconcile.

There is no preference setting.

Note: If GnuCash is not able to find remaining uncleared transactions 
that need to be cleared to balance the reconcile, there shouldn't be a 
pop-up window.

Regards,

Sherlock
