dictParser - CLI interface

Reads a dict file, merges sub-dicts referenced through #include directives, evaluates variables and expressions, and finally saves the parsed dict with prefix ‘parsed’, i.e. parsed.<DICTNAME>.The format of the output file will by default be dictIO native file format, but can optionally be changed to foam, xml or json format.
