Feature request: Create a default autoload directory containing structures that should always be opened when RNAStructViz first starts #65

I propose we put this directory in the path ~/.RNAStructViz/AutoLoad/*. The files in this directory can either be manually copied, copied as facilitated by GUI buttons (like a pin-to-app icon that when enabled copies the structure file into the autoload directory), or contain symlinks to files on the user's disk (to save space). This is easy, and may well have a tested implementation by Tuesday.

Now implemented as predicted before the end of the weekend. An image showing the new image buttons to the right of the structure buttons in the RHS FolderWindow display is shown below. Toggling these buttons (by clicking on them) allows the user to set which structures should be pre-loaded the next time RNAStructViz starts. It's a nice convenience feature that was fun to code with the boost::filesystem library... Screenshot at 2019-11-28 19-09-34

Next on the menu ... Testing what happens to my precious limited memory laptop when we attempt to recursively open the entire contents of the RNADB sequence data repository all at once with StructViz.

The current release that will be posted later tonight after more testing, on Mac of course, brings things to a nice round release number of v2.0.0-testing. That would be 100 0.0.1 style minor revision increments in total.
