Related to #4702.

If a --pref option is passed into the IDE as a command line arg, then it is also saved in the preferences.txt file with a build_properties_custom. prefix.

For example: arduino --pref "boardsmanager.additional.urls=http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json" --install-boards esp8266:esp8266

will add the following line:

build_properties_custom.boardsmanager.additional.urls=http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

The main purpose of the build_properties_custom.* properties is to pass in custom build properties to the Compiler. See Compiler.java. I think these parameters are not mean't to be persistent.
