CHECKDWLPRESENCE system variable

Check Dwl file existence before open

When trying to open a drawing, warn the user about the presence of a dwl lock file. The content of the lock files allows to inform other users trying to open that drawing, that it is in use, since when, and by whom. This is typically useful for drawings on a shared folder that can be accessed by multiple users from different operating systems.
