3.0

Update ScribusGenerator for recent Scribus (1.5.6+):

• fix various bugs introduced in the Python3 porting (blank page, skips in merge mode, use variables in filenames)
• added support for JSON data format, on top of CSV.
• added requested fill_count feature : A dedicated variable %VAR_COUNT% can be used anywhere in the file output option that will be substituted with the position of the related data entry in the data file. Force that count figure to have a specific length by setting the OUTPUTCOUNT_FILL accordingly.
