Description Pierre-Charles David

The aird editor introduced in Sirius 5.0 is able to open automatically when a modeling project/session is opened. At the time of 5.0, the code was still relatively new, so we decided not to enable this behavior by default. For 6.0 we should change the default (ideally as soon as M5). The code is now stable enough, and the more people use it the better it will become. In addition, some important features planned for 6.0 (notably bug #509735) integrate in this editor, and if it's not opened by default the features risk staying invisible/unused.

Steps to validate:
1. Start a runtime on a new workspace
2. Open Window > Preferences > Sirius
3. Make sure the preference is checked 

Note that this is just about changing the default value of a preference. Strictly speaking the feature itself (automatic opening when the preference is set) is out of scope. But it's easy and fast to check it too:
1. Start a runtime on a new workspace.
2. Create a new modeling project.
3. The aird editor should automatically open on the newly created session.
