Tech specific macros and DRC scripts were not shown in tech

* Bugfix: 8 bit indexed GIF images can be used for package icons now
* Enhancement: Provide a way to specify the type of a macro
This feature is mainly useful for command line arguments.
If you run KLayout with "klayout -b -r myscript"
it will not be able to determine the type of macro without
a suffix.

You can now explicitly specify a certain type by
giving the suffix implicitly like: "klayout -b -r myscript[rb]"
This will read "myscript" but pretend it was "myscript.rb"
and execute it as Ruby script.

This feature is handy if you need to run a file with a
specific interpreter but cannot modify the file name.
* Enhancement: Selection now shows PCell display names
Before, the internal name was shown for instances
* Enhancement: There is an option in the View menu to show or hide markers
Markers may hide layout under them. With this feature you can
quickly disable all markers and the layout becomes visible.
