Title:
  Add an option to suppress creation of backup files

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
