Disabled AUTO BUILD and BUILD PROCESSLIST Buttons in OFFLINE Mode

OFFLINE mode of CNC Bender allows users to program parts in CNC Bender on a desktop that is remote from the bender.

As of version v11-20081218, CNC Bender disables all buttons that will build the processlist when it is in OFFLINE mode. The reason for this is that a process list build has no meaning in OFFLINE since process lists are used by CNC Processor to move the bender.
