SheetMetal AddJunction

Description
The Make Junction command starts the second of three steps to convert a shell object made with tools of the Part or PartDesign workbench into an unfoldable SheetMetal object.

As long as three faces meet at a corner and each face is joined to both other face the object can't be unfolded, and so one joint has to be cut open.

Folding a corner needs two bends; and the two remaining edges meet at a junction, thus the naming Make Junction.
 * (Junction sounds odd to me. Native speakers please review)
