Fix #220, 269: marks do not persist
https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/220
https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/269
Marks/image connections can optionally be saved in a text file in the
same folder as History etc.
The option is in Preferences/Behavior - set to save by default.
Also a menu item to clear all marks.
