Open/write CTC data format

• Drag and drop annotations/results in the Cell Tracking Challenge (CTC) format into napari.

  Works for TRA, RES, etc. folders, which contain a time sequence of segmentations in tiff format, and a corresponding tracklet file *.txt.

• Write tracked cells (labels layer & corresponding tracks layer) to CTC format (see usage below).
