New feature: add-file functionality to Projucer

[tesseiko]

Added new subcommands to Projucer command line.

Projucer --clear-maingroup jucerfile.jucer
Projucer --add-file jucerfile.jucer path/to/file/or/directory/to/add/project

Here is the patch, in case anybody wants to patch this feature to a previous version. Tested in 6.1.6.

copy the patch and save it to a file, e.g., cli_add_file.patch
Then navigate to your cheked-out version of juce framework and run git apply /path/to/cli_add_file.patch and rebuild Projucer
