Toggling buffer-local variables from Options menu on menu bar

[Nick Roberts]

If you toggle some buffer-local variables from the menu bar e.g
case-fold-search, indicate-empty-lines then you change the default values and
not the local ones.  This is because they use menu-bar-make-toggle and means
that if you are in a buffer where the local value has been set e.g Info, you
see no difference.

It is a departure from behaviour in Emacs 21 and other options e.g
truncate-lines are changed locally on the menu bar.
