[JW Lua] Adding properties to FCGeneralPrefs.

FCGeneralPrefs is the class that provides access to Finale's global program
preferences. It is a wrapper around a data structure in the PDK that
provides access to some (but not all) preferences. However, currently
FCGeneralPrefs provides access to only a subset of that already limited
subset.

As part of my 0.64 changes, I have been expanding FCGeneralPrefs to include
more of what is available. I have added in the easy options, but for the
remaining options I am wondering whether they would be useful enough to
add. These are

- a bunch of quantization options, though I think it probably is not all of
them
- undo enable/disable (but not undo depth)
- UseFloatQuantInEntryMover (not sure if this is still used by Finale. Does
anyone know where it is in the U.I.?)
- RedrawActiveWindowOnly (same caveats as UseFloatQuantInEntryMover)

Can anyone think of reasons why these might be useful? Probably the
quantization options would be the most likely to have a use, but I'd like
to hear what they might be if you have an idea.
