[Bf-funboard] Warning when auto keyframe active

I agree. I got a lot of trouble with animators letting auto key on.
A red time line could be cool.

fwiw this comes up when working on group projects; jumping into a file
where someone has left autokeying on, and getting surprised by it.
 a red border around the viewport doesn't seem like a terrible solution
- even a thin, non annoying one would be noticable. And it fits with
e.g. changing the border around the camera when we have locked camera to
view.

So I think this is a reasonable suggestion. with colored border around
the viewport seeming like a best option.
or... we could modify dr. epilepsy(1) to turn on when autokey is
depressed.
