Add "Generate Program" to toolbar in PLCOpenEditor standalone mode.

Currently you can find the "Generate Program" action only in the file menu,
but this action is very often used in standalone mode, so I added toolbuffon.
Project overview
================

In order to target the widest possible range of programmable devices and keep efficient, Beremiz use C code as an intermediate language. 

To be executed, C needs to be compiled. `GCC <http://gcc.gnu.org>`_ serve that purpose perfectly.

PLC program is expressed in languages defined in IEC-61131, including graphical languages. Thanks to PLCopen TC2, those graphical languages have a standardised representation, in XML.

To be continued.
