[Werner Almesberger <werner@...>]

This patch adds a command-line option --plot to eeschema that makes it
run File -> Plot -> Plot PostScript -> Plot ALL on the specified file.
It also prevents eeschema from opening a window and from checking for
concurrent instances.

This lets shell scripts generate plots, i.e., of schematics that have
been processed by these scripts.

Known issue: if there is an error that causes a dialog to be brought
up, eeschema will just hang, waiting for the user to click the dialog
away on the invisible window.

This patch is for KiCad SVN revision 1768.
