Support to reparent all children of a parent project

Browse Source 
This change adds a new option to the 'set-project-parent' command that
allows to reparent all child projects of one parent project to another
parent project. It is possible to specify certain children of the old parent
that should not be reparented.

This is e.g. useful if you have defined a set of default access rights on a
parent project P and now one of its child projects C should not inherit these
default access rights. The new functionality allows you to easily introduce a
new hierarchy level under P:
1. create new child project D under P which defines the default access rights
2. reparent all child projects of P to D, except C (and D)
3. remove the default access rights from P

Name of the parent to inherit through. If not specified,
the parent is set back to the default `All-Projects`.
--children-of::
Name of the parent project for which all child projects should be
reparented. If the new parent project or any project in its
parent line is a child of this parent project it is automatically
excluded from reparenting.
--exclude::
Name of a child project that should not be reparented. This
option can only be used if the option --children-of is set.
Multiple child projects can be excluded from reparenting by
specifying the --exclude option multiple times. Excluding a
project that is not a child project has no effect.
