Improve waiting times (for regenerating project files) when adding multiple files in a row #11

Easy way: Add checkbox whether to regenerate project files to all dialog windows that can modify files in the project. Little bit unsafe as you can end up with outdated project files.

Better? way: Support chained adding in "FUnreal: Add Source" with a checkbox at the bottom saying something like "Add another", which would bring up new dialog. Regenerating project files would be triggered only once at the end of the chain.
