command line ODG export option (e.g. -G, --export-odg=FILENAME)

[The Amigo]

In addition to Inkscape's existing --export-ps, --export-eps, --export-pdf and --export-emf, it'd be nice to have an --export-odg option.

I've also looked into using the --verb FileSaveAs, but that doesn't appear to take parameters (preventing automation), nor does it seem possible to write a plugin that would implement such a feature. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

This is correct, and tracked in
- Bug #361237 ”Provide scriptable method of saving files“

Related (output extension id as verb does not work either):
- Bug #503784 “export to dxf via command line”

Since ODG output is an internal extension, this should not be too difficult to add -> tagging as 'easy-fix'.

Initial patch.
Command line export works, but sometimes the generated file is not the same as when exported with the GUI.

More tests needed.
