DEVTOOLS: Support xlsx extension for Blade Runner subtitles
If the englishTranscript.xls is not found, the englishTranscript.xlsx will be used instead
Google sheets supports download to xlsx, so this addition was needed.
Also tested the font tool with Pillows image library (PIL fork) which works ok, and updated README file.
