Autosave or ask-save layout #405

When you close the interactive plots after changing lots of stuff and you forgot to save, you get sad... let's make people happy(?) by asking if they want to save on close

There's two sides to this though, because I also find it irritating that every time I close Nengo it asks me if I want to save (as 99% of the time the answer is no).

An in-between solution would be to have a system in place that will detect if something has actually changed, and only pop up the save prompt then.

This is true, or better yet, we have a preference system where people can turn it off. (I did have in mind that it would only ask if something had changed... though there might be kinds of changes that count and some that don't)
