Fixed visual glitches in some menus when Pentagon machine and real video, or when enabling interlaced: audio wave, visualmem, ay piano, wave piano, view sprites
Fixed triggering "opcode" condition breakpoint
Fixed emulating Inves interrupt bug
Fixed segmentation fault when showing electron on debug


Changes in TBBlue emulation:
-Added Tiles video mode
-Added "reveal" setting to view which pixels are used by a layer
-Added setting to change machine id
