import qud file with tcl

qud-files are for example "foreign" devices for the programmer

I have a jtag-chain with one altera fpga and two processors, to be able to program the fpga I need to add these custom devices in the programmer "add device" section. These devices can be exported as qud files.

These devices are stored somewhere in the computes so there is no problem setting up the programmer chain again once the devices have been created.

The problem is when I use continuous integration (gitlab), it always generates a new environment to run quartus. The programmer doesn't recognize the devices. That's why I need to import these files.

I actually don't use the chain to program the fpga in CI but to generate a SVF-file.
