Don't record (de)activating change tracking on undo stack

LyX has the peculiarity of treating the (de)activating of change 
tracking as something that is recorded on the undo stack.

One of the problems I ran into with this is that it unexpectedly killed 
the redo function when I activated change tracking, i.e. I undid some 
changes and activated the change tracking in between and this changed 
what could be redone.

The only other app I know of that does this is Apple Pages. But I am not 
sure whether Apple's change tracking should be taken as a thought 
through feature, e.g. it is impossible to de-activate change tracking 
without accepting all changes. Go figure!
