	Adds an API which an algorithm can implement to support auto-setting
parameter values. This is designed to handle the case
of eg an algorithm which does a file format translation, where
it's desirable to default the output parameter value to an input
parameter value with a different extension.
This can now be done by implementing autogenerateParameterValues
in the algorithm, eg:
    def autogenerateParameterValues(self, existingParameters, changedParameter, mode):
        if changedParameter == self.INPUT:
            input_file = existingParameters.get(self.INPUT)
            if input_file:
                input_path = Path(input_file)
                if input_path.exists():
                    # auto set output parameter to same as input but with 'qgs' extension
                    return {self.OUTPUT: input_path.with_suffix('.qgs').as_posix()}
        return {}
Works for both toolbox and batch modes for algorithms
