[jdt-debug-dev] Make it possible to extend jdithreads stephandlers

[Max Rydahl Andersen <manderse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

the team at red hat behind Ceylon IDE have tried to avoid having to fork JDT to allow for a good mixed Ceylon and jdt experience. 

We do use internal methods but at least we can use latest JDT without too much impact. 

But there is one place where we've had to do add a feature patch and that is in context of handling how the debugger steps through stackframes. 

The bug is at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=470200#c1 which the simplest patch that simply allows extensions of jdithread so we can support debugging both java and Ceylon in the same toolset without feature patches. 

Thanks,
