Subject: [PATCH] Make 0 the automatic width in the free text width box

The box showed Auto for -1 while IndependentTextItem::setTextWidth()
treats every value up to 0 as automatic. Typing 0, or the first click
on the up arrow from Auto, then put a width change in the undo history
that changed nothing, left the box on 0, and in live edit every later
change of X, Y, angle, text or size was replaced by that empty command.
Auto is 0 in the box now, like in the setter: no number is the automatic
width, and the first step up is 1 px.
