- removed the Open Gerber with 'follow' menu entry and also the open_gerber Tcl Command attribute 'follow'. This is no longer required because now the follow_geometry is stored by default in a Gerber object attribute gerber_obj.follow_geometry

- added a new parameter for the Tcl CommandIsolate, named: 'follow'. When follow = 1 (True) the resulting geometry will follow the Gerber paths.
