file-read-kibitz: preference variable

Default value: 1

The 1 bit in this variable tells Epsilon to display an explanatory message when it reads a file and auto-detects its translation type, but it only determines the type when it's a long way into the file. It displays a message like "filename.txt: Read as binary due to bare CR on line 303, offset 28494", which indicates the place in the file where it chose the translation type.

The 2 bit tells Epsilon to omit such messages when the grep command reads a file. The 4 bit tells Epsilon to omit such messages when file-query-replace does.
