Title: Gendarme: Add IDE output format option to TextResultWriter

Currently the output from Gendarme is not recognised by IDEs. This change adds the ability to specify a command line option ("--ide") which adds a line to the output which is formatted so that IDEs can parse it. This allows Gendarme to be used as a build step and errors will appear in the build error list and link correctly to the line and file where the error occurred.

This has been tested on SharpDevelop and VS2010. It doesn't work on MonoDevelop but I was unable to find any documentation as to what format it requires for custom tools to generate errors to appear in the error list, or if that is supported at all.
