Marker pulse qblox backend
Explanation of changes
A MarkerPulse is defined in the pulse_library. For Qblox hardware it is implemented via the set_mrk Q1ASM command. For this purpose a new io_mode called "digital" is defined for the Sequencer object.
Motivation of changes
Users need to be able to easily specify digital pulses with exact timing to drive third-party electronics during experiments.
