[platform-ui-dev] Using asynchronous layout calls via requestLayout in our renderer classes

Friends of Platform UI,

with help from Stefan Xenos, I'm starting to use requestLayout for
asynchronous layouting in our renderer implementations. Once finished
the Eclipse UI should be snappier.

I'm doing this with little baby steps to make it (hopefully) easier to
trace any resulting problem. Please see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=483842 as umbrella bug.

I started merging the first simple changes today/ The changes may
affect the toolbar rendering (ToolBarManagerRenderer, where I also
removed unnecessary pack calls). Please watch out for rendering bugs
in the next builds.

The changes in PartRenderingEngine and AreaRenderer, TrimStack were a
simple method replacement and should not make any real difference
(famous last words). Real changes in them are handled by separate
bugs.

Best regards, Lars
