Description
As [discussed on IRC](http://code.imagej.net/chatlogs/imagejdev?times=prefix&start-date=2013-03-15&end-date=2013-03-15#20130315T163800), we should have a way for users to define macros or scripts to run upon startup that is more flexible than StartupMacros.ijm.
We need to add handling for scripts/AutoRun/ (in alphabetical order for consistency) for that.
In Fiji, this was fixed in https://github.com/fiji/fiji/commit/371d3786ffcacb2c5f2ebbfb31de7526180e6338. Something similar (but more proper) is still needed for ImageJ2.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing StartupMacros.ijm handling and the requested scripts/AutoRun/ directory behavior. Compare Fiji commit 371d3786ffcacb2c5f2ebbfb31de7526180e6338 for context, then define startup execution for scripts in alphabetical order. Done means users can place macros or scripts in scripts/AutoRun/ and have them run on startup.
