[X] This improvement has not already been suggested.
[X] This improvement would be generally useful, not specific to my code or setup.
[X] This improvement is not related to analysis quality (e.g. new rules, improvements to existing rules), which should be raised on the SonarDelphi repository.

Improvement description
If no project key is specified in the DelphiLint project options, read the project key from the sonar-project.properties file if present.
Rationale
DelphiLint currently handles the project key used to connect to SonarQube totally separately from the sonar-project.properties file, which is passed directly to SonarDelphi.
This made sense within the architecture of the application, but can be unintuitive (see discussion here). It also means that for the user there are two sources of truth for a project key.
Because the sonar-project.properties file is trivially parseable, this shouldn't be too difficult.
