Add an addRequiredOption method
This pull request adds an addRequiredOption method, which creates an Option
with setRequired(true).
This is really useful, given the amount of projects I saw doing things like:
```
Options options = new Options();
options.addOption( "a", "all", false, "do not hide entries starting with ."
);
options.addOption( "A", "almost-all", false, "do not list implied . and .."
);
options.addOption( "b", "escape", false, "print octal escapes for
nongraphic " + "characters" );
// ... more addOptions like these and then
Option stuff = new Option( "c", "stuff", true, "do not list implied . and
.." );
stuff.setRequired(true);
options.addOption( stuff );
// And many more required options like this one
```
This pull request proposes an auxiliary method to create a required option,
so that these options could just be added with.
`options.addRequiredOption( "c", "stuff", true, "do not list implied . and
.." );`
