[dsdp-tm-dev] Move IProgressMonitor last for consistency

Hi all,

in the last committer meeting, we've had a discussion
whether the IProgressMonitor argument should be the
first or the last argument in any method calls.

I looked at what the rest of the (Eclipse) world 
is doing, and found that the argument is typically last.

So I propose changing the IFileService and other APIs
to move the argument last. I've filed 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186128
and assigned it to myself. It's a ton of places, though,
so I'm not 100% sure I can actually accomplish this for
M7.

Anyways, I think it's good to record this. If anybody 
has any concerns please let me know, or - better yet -
file a comment on the bugzilla item. Do it early, though
since the change might be done this week !

Cheers,
