Suggestion to disable auto-save note by going back to view-all-notes menu thingy

Before all, I wish to thank you all for creating such a wonderful app.

When "Ask before saving" option is unchecked, I believe there is a minor problem.

Without the setting option "Ask before saving", one should still be able to restore previous state of a modified note if they haven't saved its modified version. However, there is no way - at least no intuitive way that I could find - to go back. The modified note gets saved automatically even when you wish to undo the changes, as simply closing the note with the back button auto-saves it. As it is intuitively possible that one presses the back button to restore to last saved state(or be it an accident), this behavior should be fixed, or at least be available as an option. I think this is a viable choice since I wouldn't press back button to save; I would press home button instead, which still saves it as a draft. One more thing. Even if you would like to keep the auto-save function, I think asking when saving through the save button and asking when saving through auto-save should be separated, possibly through another option.

tldr: option for "asking to save before going back to view-all-notes menu thingy" should be added, or either it should by default ask to save before going back to view-all-notes menu, possibly with an option to enable auto save. If auto-save is kept, please consider another option for asking when auto-saving.

This sounds like an expansion of #16.
