Make "wrap" the default in find for 2.4.0?

[Scott Kostyshak]

I've been using the new find bar in master and it's great! Thank you Jürgen for the nice feature.

Is there any interest in enabling the "wrap" checkbox for find as default? I have no idea what most users prefer. I could make a poll on the lyx-users list if there is interest in considering it.

I'm not sure how relevant the following comparison is given that LyX is different, but in case it is helpful for discussion:

LibreOffice Writer, Gedit, Chromium, and Firefox automatically wrap. I'm not sure any of them even has an option to not wrap or to prompt. The only application I'm aware of that has wrap as an option is Vim (see config "wrapscan"), although the default is to wrap.

I attach a small set of patches related to find. In addition to setting wrap as default, the patches introduce a status message when there is auto-wrap.
