Patch to add "Combine selected strings" quick assist none

Description Dirk Baeumer CLA 2004-11-03 09:49:09 EST 
M3 test candidate

String s= "Ec" + "lip" + "se";

Selecting "Ec" + "lip" + "se" should offer a quick assist to join strings into
"Eclipse"

This is the reverse of "Pick out selected part of String".

Thanks everybody. I've changed the label to "Combine to single String", made it work if the caret is on or inside a StringLiteral (like the "Use 'StringBuilder' for string concatenation"), and adjusted the copyright to the pattern we use for all new contributions:

Filed bug 394287 to make it also work when interspersed with other literals.
