Bug 501997 - Initialize the workspace in a background job

Workspace initialization activates some extensions in a synchronous way
(like IRefreshProvider). The activation of these extensions can take a
long time, so it's better to initialize the full workspace in a
background job.

Note that it does not help the Eclipse workbench to start faster because
EMF asks for ResourcesPlugin#getWorkspace() very early. It blocks until
the workspace is fully initialized, but this does not happen during
bundles initialization.
