Added some information about Qt Creator IDE integration to the wiki

[Hossein Noorikhah]

Hi Michael,

Not all sources are included in the project. Look at vcl/source/window/menu.cxx
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/window/menu.cxx

I can not find this file in vcl.pro or any other .pro file. Is it intentional?

Regards,
Hossein
