auto-save files #174

First of all, thanks for this great piece of software! I'm a lecturer and intend to test drive it in some of my classes. It would be nice to add an auto-save feature with configurable time interval. The autosave directory could be $XDG_DATA_HOME/lorien/autosaves, the autosave files themselves could be path_to_a_file if the original file is /path/to/a/file or a simple timestamped generic name in case the canvas has never been saved before.

I second that. I'm really enjoying the software so far, but just lost an hour of sketching, because lorien crashed unexpectedly.

Agreed. This is currently my favourite application for mind maps and free-form note-taking. I just lost about an hour's worth of notes, but of course, I feel silly because I usually would have saved, just not in this instance.

I should note that it crashed due to this bug (Uneraseable strokes #261), as I was attempting to erase a stroke, the application crashed, and I didn't think to tee the application's output to a log file.
