Bug 548801 - [Tip of the day] Avoid initial Layout Shell call during
startup

This mitigates the hack to layout the Shell to show the update icon in
the toolbar.

We do no layout call if the workbench starts up, that avoids UI freezes
in case the WS needs to be build.

New tips still trigger a layout call but
muliple calls arriving within 5 secs will be combined

Tests done:

Preference: Indicate new tips in the status bar

Test scenario: new tips are present at startup
-> Toolbar icon is shown to the user

Test scenerio: tips are read by the user
--> Toolbar icon is hidden

For this test I removed the SWTTips from plugin.xml as they provide
infinite tips.

Test scenario: delay tip provider and check if icon is still shown

Using
private void load(TipProvider provider) {
		try {
			Thread.sleep(20000);
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

Also works.
