[Qt-creator] CppTools::ProjectInfo project sources and include paths

[Roman Nikiforov]

Hi Nikolai & Daniel,
thanks for your answers. For my plugin it would be better to get files and
include paths for selected configuration, not just all for the active
project. Sources of selected configuration create final binary, so it has
sence to check only these files.
@Daniel: Could you please point me to the prived methods you have to get
active sources? I coud than build custom version of qtcreator for the first
time and make them public in this version.
