GUI now recognizes -p <project file> command line parameter. When
given (with path to valid project file) GUI automatically loads
the project file and starts checking paths in it.
Ticket: #2613 (GUI: Should accept project file from command line)
The source files for the class library "TinyXML" will only be included into
the build of the command line interface if the library "PCRE" was found before.

I earlier added a check for missing (editor) application command
line parameters. If parameters are missing at GUI startup an
message is shown to user to check the settings. Unfortunately
my check was incomplete and it also triggered when there was no
applications defined. Which happens when user starts GUI for a
first time.
Fix the check so that user is only informed in case the parameters
are missing and name + path are set.
In GNOME the whole big text area was not shown without making the
dialog bigger. So improve the layout for better scaling and adjust
dialog size when it gets initialized.
The support for check rules will be automatically included in the generated
software if build settings were accordingly selected for PCRE.

Earlier user had to add quotation marks around application executable
path in application dialog. Because we could not determine which part
is path and which part is parameters. As we now have separate
variables we can automatically add the quotation marks when needed
before starting the application. This reduces the confusion users
have had about the correct formatting of paths.
Currently combined editor application path + params is a bit
problematic (at least in Windows). We really don't know where the app
path ends and parameters start. So proper quoting is not always
possible.
And application path and command line parameters are clearly
different settings anyway. So make them separate settings. It has
bunch of other positive sides too. Like one can now browse new path
for the application without loosing the parameters.
When starting Cppcheck version with these new settings user is warned
that loading settings had problems and asked to check and fix the
settings.
