pushed candidate command-based api to topic branch @task-354430@
This new API would enable integrations to integrate via the Eclipse command framework rather than via Java API, making it possible to create integrations that compiles both with and without search.

Note that with the NewSearchUI there appears to be no easy way to open the search dialog prepopulated with search criteria.  It may be possible to do it by adding to the search dialog history prior to opening the dialog, though this seems somewhat incorrect since currently we're only adding to the history if the user actually presses the search button.
