Description
Tony should be able to open audio files or Tony session files - no other format.
At the moment it will happily try to open an annotation file from any of the typical file-open mechanisms, if the user overrides the default file extension as applicable.

Hm, now that I start "fixing" this, I'm thinking there are some real use cases for the bug/misfeature/unintentional feature here. If this was v1.0 it would certainly make sense to fix it, but I'm a bit worried there may be people who are actually relying on it by now.

Here's a patch that implements this, but I'm going to have to think about it a bit more.
It may be better just to exclude them from the default set of selected files in the open file dialog - which is trivial to do, just pass FileFinder::SessionOrAudioFile instead of FileFinder::AnyFile to getOpenFileName.

Made that last change (default file type) in the repo now.
