Improvements to intelligent patching mode 4.
Fixed a few more bugs in the multi-connect fan-out and fan-in modes. Also added a third option to do parallel connections, which is activated by holding the ctrl key while doing the initial connection. (This was previously used to reverse the fan-out / fan-in choice, so this functionality is not available anymore. But it was largely obsolete with the new algorithm anyway, while the new parallel connection feature provides genuinely useful new functionality.) Parallel connections quite simply connect as many selected object pairs as possible, going left to right starting at the initial y1-y2 pair, and using the same outlet and inlet numbers as in the initial connection: y1 y1' y1'' ... | | | y2 y2' y2'' ... I have always missed this feature. It's very basic, but useful in so many situations. While this isn't a multi-connect operation in the same sense as the fan-out and fan-in operations in mode 4, it uses the same basic interface and visual top-to-bottom and left-to-right selection order, so it was most convenient to add it there.
