Bug Description

I have an idea to improve auto save. Yesterday I was working on a file and then my computer failed and I decided to go to sleep and finish working in the morning. Today I started working with other file, I made something and left my computer for a few hours. Now I tried to open backup file from yesterday and I realised that there are 64 identical backup files saved today. My idea is simple - if nothing in file changes since last backup, then Inkscape doesn't have to save next backup file that is identical to the last one.

It seems that since our regular "Save" function does not save over a file if no changes were made, it makes sense to implement the same type of detection logic for AutoSave.
