The fix consists of moving that options into the case-specific options like DBU, instead of having it in the format-specific, default writer options. So they can be specified on a per-case basis and taken from the current layout by default. Specifically: * SaveLayoutOptions#gds2_libname is deprecated and replaced by SaveLayoutOptions#libname * -ol (buddy tools) is no longer format specific * The GDS writer takes SaveLayoutOptions#libname, and if empty, substitutes by the current libname. As last resort, "LIB" is used, because LIBNAME cannot be an empty string. * The libname got removed from the global writer options UI * In the "Save As" options dialog, it now is part of the global options and initialized with the current layout's libname.
The complication is auto-load: in case one file changed and needs to get merge, the whole library needs to be updated. Solution is to do a rescan of the whole folder in case something has changed there.

The solution implements a merge for auto-loaded library files. Layout files with the same LIBNAME are merged into a single library.
In this implementation, the first of those files (in lexical order) "wins": the database unit is taken from that file. Also further files are added in lexical order. Secondary files do not delete or overwrite cells already present - so again, earlier files have higher priority.
