feat(save): set save upon every change instead on exit.

there has been several times in which I lose my entire mark list because
i am not saving upon change, but instead on end.

+* `save_on_toggle` will set the marks upon calling `toggle` on the ui, instead
+  of require `:w`.
+* `save_on_change` will save the harpoon file upon every change.  If you don't
+  enable this option (on by default) harpoon will not save any changes to your
+  file.  It is very unreliable to save your harpoon on exit (at least that is
+  what I have found).
