Copy generated plugin.xml to project root until deactivated

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When starting with a new project, the plugin.xml is generated to the src-gen 
folder. It must be manually copied and merged to the project root.

Usually during start up of a project it is not required to make manual changes, 
so the plugin.xml should be overwritten by default, until this feature is 
deactivated.

This should be either be configured through the Spray properties file, or by 
leveraging Output configurations. This may also be combined, so that the 
runtime OutputConfigurationProvider evaluates the Spray properties file.

there should be a property in properties file (and an option in the project 
creation wizard before):

override.plugin.xml 

with possible values:
 * yes: always overridden by each generation
 * no: never overridden by each generation
 * ask: show a confirmation dialog to the user to let him decide whether to override the file - this dialog should be only shown if the new plug-in.xml would differ from the existing one
