Add labels to representations in view #141

Description

@BastiaanvHoorn

Hi!

An idea I had, was to have the possibility of having labels in the 3d view for atoms, residues and/or chains.

When looking for specific residues, I often end up hovering over a bunch of residues before I find the right one. It would be great if I could simply toggle a label for this, possibly with a default and/or custom (scriptable) text that would let me display the residue id, or name, or type. In a similar way, atom numbers or elements could be displayed. Like how in Veloxchem one can display the elements or atom numbers when showing a molecule.

One way to implement this would have a 'label' tickbox per representation. If this is checked, one can select if the label should go per atom, residue, chain, or the whole selection. The last option then would be the actual text to be displayed.

This would make it easier to do analysis as well as creating publication grade figures.

Best,
Bastiaan
