Library hyperlinks to java source files #65

It would be convenient to have navigation from robot files to the referred java files. Based on the fully qualified name of the class the proper source file shall be looked up from the java projects of the workspace.

Format to support:

*** Settings ***
Library  com.company.TestLib
Library  com.company2.TestLib2  with name  Lib2

It could perhaps also later provide ctrl-space suggestions for keywords defined in these libraries.

Yes, navigation to keyword implementation methods would be a big usability plus, however as I saw it is a bigger amount of work. Therefore in this issue I kept the scope simple and limited to the library import line. Keyword suggestion for the content of the library (java class) seems even bigger problem, since there is no deterministic mapping from java method name to possible keywords (however some conventions could be defined).

Basic implementation from #66 accepted with minor improvements.
