#1087: wxGUI: Load multiple maps

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Suggestion: in oder to simplify the "import" of several maps into the
layer tree, it might be good to reassign the d.rast/d.vect icons in the
GUI to a different dialog which enables also multi-map selection (CTRL-
left-mouse) - similar to the bulk import.
wxGUI (in both 6 and 7) has now 'Add multiple raster or vector...' button
in toolbar. Selection (filtering) is based on regular expression. Shortcut
is Ctrl+Shift+L.
Possible enhancements (create new ticked if you want them):
* Selection done by Ctrl, Shift and mouse. (Now done by checkboxes. Maybe
checkboxes fits better to regular expression based filtering.)
* Selection (filtering) done expression containing wildcards similar to
bash (e.g. use '*' (wildcard) instead of '.*' (regular expression))
* Simplify the selection of vector (and 3D rasters) by different buttons,
separated menu entries or by using the recently used value. (Now type
raster is always the default choice.)
