The selector dock forced itself open on three paths - startup, any switch to
the wellplate acquisition tab, and any plate-format change - so the stored
well_selector_visible preference was never actually consulted. Automatic
show/hide now only ever hides (glass slide, non-wellplate tab, during
acquisition); the "Show Well Selector" button is the one thing that turns it
on, and its choice survives tab switches and acquisitions.

SHOW_WELL_SELECTOR_BY_DEFAULT (settable as show_well_selector_by_default under
[GENERAL]) restores the old always-visible behaviour per machine.
