[WIP] Bug 497444 - Progress indicator not updating in the splash screen
of Eclipse

Proof of concept

* simplifies the code
* remove unnecessary synchronize for the progress reporting of active
bundles
* Spins the event loop after
the splash creation to avoid a "ghost shell" (no content, I see the
widgets behind it).
* defines StartupProgressBundleListener as static inner class
* Trigger UI update if the startup listener is triggered for plug-in
loading
* Removes the loaded bundle name from the splash screen as this is
misleading for the user, the user will think that this plug-in takes
very long to load while it is actually already finished
* Assumes that 1/5 of the bundles have an early startup action
* Removes unnecessary null check as  SubMonitor.convert() never returns
null

Contributing to Eclipse Platform UI project

Thanks for your interest in this project.

Project description:

Platform UI provides the basic building blocks for user interfaces built with Eclipse.

Some of these form the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and can be used for arbitrary rich client applications, while others are specific to the Eclipse IDE. The Platform UI codebase is built on top of the Eclipse Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT), which is developed as an independent project.
