Integration with Sublime

@drazde found a way to integrate boxes with Sublime Text 3 (from #47):

1. Open Sublime Text 3
2. Install Package Control and restart Sublime.
3. Choose Tools → Command Palette… from the main menu and select Package Control: Install Package, then choose FilterPipes.
4. Choose Tools → Command Palette… from the main menu and select FilterPipes: My Custom Filters Plugin
5. In the following file open dialog, open %APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\​Packages\​MyCustomFilterPipes\​Default.sublime-commands. This is the default on Windows, but if you are on other operating systems, the dialog should already be open in the correct folder.
6. Before the closing ], add the following:

   {   /* Boxes stone */
       "caption": "FilterPipes: Boxes stone",
       "command": "filter_pipes_process",
       "args": {
           "command": ["boxes", "-d", "stone", "-a", "c", "-s", "80"]
       }
   }
   

   Be sure to add a comma after the previous entry, so that the list is continued properly.

7. Now you have a new command Boxes stone which will create a stone styled box of 80 characters in width around the selected text. In may be accessed via the command palette like above, or you might want to define a hotkey or a macro to do it.
8. Add more FilterPipes commands for other designs, or for removing and repairing your ASCII art boxes.
