When the preference dialogue is loaded and options are set, the ones
with registered callbacks fire causing parts of Gnucash to be updated.
This was observed with gnc_split_register_load being executed 5 times
for each open register when the preference dialogue was loaded.
To overcome this, a couple of functions have been created to block and
unblock all registered prefs and used while the preference dialogue is
loaded.
