Related to my reasoning of #203, it is also convenient to only show the technologies, with this PR it is possible to filter on 'Technology' and it only shows the Technologies in the milestone selector.

When this is combined with the #168 it is even more powerful.

By embedding the milestone elements in a (virtual) scroll list, it will
be possible to scroll them, which lifts the restriction of only allowing
60 milestones.

Background: when playing extensive mod packs with lots of new/unknown
technologies it is often hard to determine the research path to take. I
find it convenient to add a lot (all) technologies to the milestone
list, so YAFC shows which technologies I should research to unlock some
item/recipe.

This PR also fixes the original (probable) reason for this limitation:
`ulong` can only hold 64 bits, and the Analyser uses bits to keep track
of the dependencies of the milestones (and other objects). By replacing
`ulong` with the custom build `Bits` class, this limitation is lifted.

To be more confident that I did not break things, I first added a
(simple) test suite for milestones. Then applied the changes and with
minimal changed (had to use the `Bits` class now) the test suite still
runs properly.
Additionally, I made these changes more than a year ago
(ShadowTheAge#203) and have been playing
with loads/all (!) technologies of Pyanodons added to the milestones
without issues:
