New option: "Automatically generate the title if the title field is left empty and hide the title field" [#426852]

Hi! On a project I'm developing I've had the need of automatically generate the title (if the title field is left empty) and keep the title field ever hidden.
I've added the option to the module and I've created a patch. If you want you can integrate it on the module.

It is useful to automatically generate the node title only when the node is created. The node title will not be editable by the user and it won't be updated anymore.

Oops - I spoke slightly too soon. The patch works great except that with the new option selected, choosing "Update automatic nodetitles" from the administer content page (admin/content/node) will not regenerate the selected titles.
