Fill the autogui tool with updated values

Description

This function is mostly used internally to construct and fill the GUI. However, it can be used externally to refresh the GUI to a new set of parameters.

Example

For example, suppose you want to add a ``Restore defaults'' button to your autogui. When the user presses it, then the autogui tool will be told to re-fill the GUI with what='default'.

# ... myautogui setup already ...
myf := myautogui.buttonbar();
myb := dws.button(myf, 'Restore defaults');
whenever myb->press do {
  myautogui.fillgui(parameters, 'default');
}
# ...

Of course, we should also update the value fields of the parameters to be the same as the default fields, but that is left to the reader...
