Add ability to have resource files in LabVIEW FPGA

[Terry_ALE]

LabVIEW NXG had the ability to create a resource file.  Though I cannot find the help reference for this I will describe the functionality below:

Right now the Target Scoped FIFO, P2P, DMA-FIFO, Memory, Handshake Items, Registers, Clocks, etc are all stored as part of LabVIEW Project (lvproj) file.

If want to port to a new project file or target I have to copy/paste.  This is not a big deal and works well.  However if I update one project's configuration I have to re-copy/paste.  From a configuration management perspective I cannot ensure the configurations are always the same.  With larger, multi-FPGA projects this becomes critical.

It would be great to have a file that holds all of these resources to allow for easier portability and configuration management.

One thing I do religiously is remove as many of these things from the project as I possible can.

FIFO, Memorys, Registers, Handshakes can all be instantiated in the code.

I wish DMA FIFOs and Clocks could also be done there (i.e. defining derived clocks).
