Teach gerbv to understand Altium's Excellon precision hint

Hi there.
Gerbv isn't able to auto-detect the right format for Excellon files generated by Altium, so the scale is often wrong. Inspecting the Excellon file shows a comment of the form ";FILE_FORMAT=2:3" (or similar). This patch teaches gerbv about the format hint.
The patch works for me, but maybe it needs more work on the way it interacts with the "Edit file format" dialog.
