Input should stay stopped after "Edit input"

[HolgerOpenSource]

Manually stopped inputs are started again after we changed input parameters with "Edit input".

Expected Behavior

Input should stay in stopped state after edit input.

Current Behavior

Input starts automatically after saving the changes in input definition.

Possible Solution

Change code.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. stop input
2. edit input (change for instance the port number)
3. save changed input
4. input ist now in started state

Context

Sometime we manually stop inputs to avoid overloading of Graylog during certain time frames. Manually stopped inputs must only start again when we do it manually.

Your Environment

Versions:

• Graylog 2.1.2
• elasticsearch 2.3.5
• mongoDB 3.2.1
• Linux SLES 11
• Browser Firefox ESR 45.2.0

I wanted to solicit feedback from you guys on how you wanted to implement this. I don't mind helping code it (would be a fun project for me to learn more about under the hood), but I don't want to do it on my own without feedback on how you guys want it implemented in the system?
