feat: add auto_save_on_select_new_entry config option (#84)

Problem: users who want hands-off behaviour had no way to skip the
`prompt_save_on_select_new_entry` confirmation dialog — enabling the
prompt meant always being asked, with no silent auto-save path.

Solution: add `auto_save_on_select_new_entry` (default `false`) which,
when true, calls `M.save()` and proceeds immediately instead of showing
the confirm dialog. Includes type annotations, vimdoc, and upstream
tracker update for stevearc/oil.nvim#393.
