Added C++ Encoder samples to Eclipse Plugin.

Reads values from quadrature encoder and displays them on the
SmartDashbord.

Also added Encoder with Motor Control example, which is identical to the
Motor Control sample but displays an encoder value on the
SmartDashboard.

/**
* This sample program shows how to control a motor using a joystick. In the operator
* control part of the program, the joystick is read and the value is written to the motor.
* An Encoder is then used to read the total distance that the motor has turned and
* to display it on the SmartDashboard.
*
* Joystick analog values range from -1 to 1 and speed controller inputs as range from
* -1 to 1 making it easy to work together. The program also delays a short time in the loop
* to allow other threads to run. This is generally a good idea, especially since the joystick
* values are only transmitted from the Driver Station once every 20ms.
