Make creator auto-save the session state when something changed

Currently the 10second auto-save timer is started when an editor
is opened or close, or when a bookmark or breakpoint is set or
removed.

The change ensures that users do not lose their session state
should creator crash (e.g. when a laptop runs out of battery)
