IO Graph: Add checkbox to prevent automatic rescans

Adds a checkbox 'Automatic Update' to the IO Graph to enable or disable
rescans and recalculation of graph data temporarily. This is useful when
you want to modify settings of multiple graphs without triggering a rescan
with every change of a single setting. This becomes useful for large trace
files in particular.

Rescan or recalculation events are queued while 'Automatic Update' is not
active. Checking 'Automatic Update' triggers the queued updates.

The setting for 'Automatic Update' is stored in a preference.

A german translation for 'Automatic Update' is included.
