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

[Adrien Monteleone]

Good point about importing.

Maybe this was originally implemented before you could import them 'as 
cleared'?

Otherwise, I don't see the need for it either.

I guess it might reduce the overall number of mouse clicks the reconciler needs to do, which I believe is what the original implementer was seeking back in 2010.

I believe that workflow would still reduce the number of clicks for those users who are counting, while allowing the click happy traditionalists their day in the trenches.
