Summary: Indicate input jar file name in reports

Initial Comment:
Clirr allows you to specify multiple jar files at once as input, but the output reports (both text and xml) do not differentiate between them. 

In a large code base, the means the consumer of the report might have to do the "detective" work of mapping the packages back to the .jar files that contains them.

Hi Lars,

Unfortunately it is not in an open source project. My use case it to add
Clirr to a "repository scanner" that compares the jar files produced by all
the projects in an enterprise against the previous night or week build. In
that case, a large number of .jar files might be provided as input at
once.

But another, more common use case would be any project that creates
multiple jar files as output, that are then aggregated to create a large
application. It would be helpful to be able to identify the source of each
file listed in the Clirr output.

Nascif, could you provide a use case where this has been a real problem
for you? Was it an open source project I could look at? If not, how many
jars, how many class files, etc? I'm asking to figure out the priority of
this RFE.

Note to implementor: Keep in mind that it's probably not a good idea to
hardcode the notion of a "jar" in the output. I'm thinking about IDE
plugins where the source file would probably be more appropriate, so each
class should have the more general notion of an "origin" instead of a
"jar".
