gEDA-bug: [Bug 762894] [NEW] Add an option to suppress creation of backup files

[Richard Barlow <762894@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

When using a version control system the backup (~) files created by
libgeda become annoying. They can be ignored by most VCSs however they
still sit there and don't serve any purpose as any mistake can be
recovered from a previous version.

This patch adds a configuration option "no-backup-files" which
suppresses the creation of backup files. It is disabled by default so
there is no change to the previous behaviour unless this option is
activated.
