support --argumentfile and stdin for arguments, like pybot

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if maybot supported the --argumentfile option, and the ability 
to pass arguments on stding like pybot. If it did this, it would be possible to 
launch mabot from within the test runner plugin in RIDE. 

Presently the test runner uses --argument file, but now that pybot supports 
options on stdin I hope that the plugin uses that so it can avoid creating 
temporary files on disk (see robot framework issue 773: 
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=773)

to make mabot a possible executor for RIDE test runner plugin would currently 
need more changes than just adding the agumentfile option (for example test 
runner injects the listener to the started process..) and for RF core teams 
users this is not a valid use case at the moment.

If someone is willing to contribute to make this kind of functionality 
available and also explains why this functionality is needed then I think the 
patch could be applied.
