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

[sunfish62 at yahoo.com]

Well. 

ISTM a change of this sort should be announced in the user list, and feedback solicited here. *Before* rolling into a commit. 

Personally, I don't think this is such a good idea, and I'd surely want the ability to turn it off. But I'm an old fuddy-duddy.

I also hope that the implementer has updated the documentation to explain the feature.
