Add Gherkin Syntax Highlighting - should work from version 3.5+ #3

Add syntax highlighting for .feature files.

Created a branch "gherkin-syntx" for this. I have added the necessary depedencies and the plugin extension point with a icon for the file. Before continuing I wanted to make sure the plugin would work in SAP Netweaver NWDS SP08 (based on Eclipse 3.5) and Scala-Ide (based on Eclipse Indigo). This took me a lot longer to confirm than expected. My technique was simply to drop the plugin into the plugin folder. Eventually I got the plugin loading correctly in SAP Netweaver by starting eclipse with -clean switch. This however did not work for Scala-IDE. Eventually I got it working in Scala-IDE by starting eclipse with -console switch and entering console mode. Once in console mode I had to install and start the plugin manually. For some reason Scala-IDE is not loading new plugins from the plugin folder automatically. Anyway I have now confirmed that the plugin can run. In order to test in Scala-IDE and SAP Netweaver though by just dropping into the plugin folders is not simple. Probably should test via installation via an update site.

Pretty much complete.. I just want to change the colors so that they work correctly with Eclipse's colors and themes; and can be configured by the user. I use the wombat theme or the classic theme. So it needs to work seemlessly in both. This means I need to choose the color codes from the standard colors available to be configured via Eclipse.

Just need to make sure we're enforcing the version 3.5 API in the manifest - I've done this
