Added .flags modifier support for DEPLOYMENT items in Symbian

The .flags modifier can be used to specify pkg flags for files.

For example, to make default application run after install:

  default_bin_deployment.flags += FR RI

For example, to show a note at installation time:

  notedep.sources = install_note.txt
  notedep.flags = FT TC
  DEPLOYMENT += notedep

See Symbian package file format documentation for exact supported
flag values.

+    This will show a message box that gives user an option to cancel the
+    installation and then automatically runs the application after
+    installation is complete.
+
+    \note Automatically running the applications after install may require signing
+    the package with better than self-signed certificate, depending on the phone model.
+    Additionally, some tools such as Runonphone may not work properly with sis
+    packages that automatically run the application upon install.

     On the Symbian platform, you can use \c{DEPLOYMENT.installer_header}
     variable to generate smart installer wrapper for your application.
