Pad settings don't persist past a browser refresh about etherpad-lite HOT 5 OPEN

Sortof-dupe of #17? (I imagine you'd ideally like these settings to persist across all pads.)

I am OK with them not persisting across all pads, since grains are isolated etc. But if I set a setting on a particular grain, I would definitely like it to be set for that one grain!

To clarify - I don't need it to persist across all pads. Upon reflection, I actively don't want it to persist across all pads, at least for this setting. Some pads of mine are multi-author and some are single-author.

Copy of detail we sent in to Sandstorm:

We don't use "Authorship colours" "Line numbers" or "Spell check." Frankly it's important to economize on both JS events and server hits, so turning these off makes both typing and viewing much more amenable. However, these aren't saved as cookies, so each time the product must reload or we otherwise come back to a document, it resets these and we must remember to turn them off. It falls under "annoyance" category but the product needs reloading several times a day. After dozens of times unchecking checkboxes every week, the time invested adds up.

@pzelchenko FWIW turning off those features won't have any effect on network traffic; they're purely cosmetic. Also in recent updates we vastly improved the authorship colors to be less annoying, so I'd suggest trying them again after you update.

That said, I agree that these options should be sticky.
