Windows .RC Parser Plugin

Plugin source location: <serge_root>/lib/Serge/Engine/Plugin/parse_rc.pm

This plugin is used to parse Windows .RC files (resource definition scripts).

Supported structures are:

CAPTION records in dialog headers;
Contents of BEGIN...END blocks inside MENU, DIALOG, DIALOGEX, and STRINGTABLE records.

Both record type preceding the translatable string, and string ID that goes after it, are combined into a hint and provided with the string.
