Add better support for using concrete object syntax (2)

Right now, you have to 1) create .meta files by hand for each file where you want to use concrete syntax and 2) change the build.main.xml to 3) fetch the grammar from disk somewhere. How can we make these three things easier?

Transformation using concrete syntax with Spoofax on the mailing list provides some documentation on how to do this now.

As of 0.5.1, projects can include a syntax/Stratego-YOURLANG.sdf file which should automatically build into a parse table when the project is built. To use the syntax, you still need a .meta file that accompanies each .str file where you want to use the syntax. For example, if you have a desugar.str file, you need a desugar.meta file with the contents Meta([Syntax("Stratego-YOURLANG")]). Just replace YOURLANG with the name of your language.

In addition, I had to add the ${include} directory to build.stratego.args in build.main.xml:
