    Add a new option to main.cpp which allows the user to specify a specific pid to
    use to open a new file and forwards all the arguments to that pid.  Required some
    changes to QtSingleApplication, but I did not alter any existing API.  Just added
    some new methods for querying an instance of a specific pid.
    
    Together with some changes to the terminal plugin this will allow the user to open
    any file with Qt Creator from within the terminal plugin by simply invoking the
    qtcreator binary.  All that is necessary is the addition of an alias like so:
    
    if [ -n "$QTCREATOR_PID" ] ; then alias qtcreator="/path/to/qtcreator/binary/qtcreator -pid $QTCREATOR_PID" ; fi
    
    This is entirely analagous to what kate allows where you can open any file with
    kate from within the embedded terminal.
