Add an option to Refresh dependencies and SYSLIB automatically (in one shot) during Remote syntax check

Requested evolution :
Refresh dependencies AND refresh SYSLIB automatically in one shot, during the Remote syntax check.

For example, during Remote Syntax check, a window can be displayed, asking for several choice like :
1/ "Refresh dependencies and SYSLIB then perform a syntax check"
2/ just make a remote syntax check (no SYSLIB or dependencies refresh).
The developers would be able to chose what they want to.

If they just want to "refresh dependencies", they will still be able to do it by selecting the existing "Refresh Dependencies" option in contextual menu.

The addition of this feature will improve their productivity (less actions, same result).

    Hi IDz dev team, after a discussion with customer, it seems they will not use the Remote Syntax Check with IDz v16 , so we can close this Idea. Thanks
