I just added three signals: project-open, project-save and
project-close. project-open and project-save submit the keyfile object
which may be modified. Some basic documentation can be found at the top
of src/plugindata.h, I'll write some more plugin documentation soon.

At the moment, I'm not completely sure whether it is save to pass the
keyfile object when emitting the signal. It might be it can already be
invalid(due to free()) in the signal handler although my tests worked
fine. I just don't know for sure whether g_signal_emit emits the signal
instantly and wait for all connected handlers to return or whether it
returns before handlers are finished. In the latter case, the passed
keyfile object may become invalid because after the signal(e.g.
project-open) is emitted, the keyfile object is freed.
