[eclipse-pmc] API request: add new methods to AbstractTableViewer and StructuredViewer


REQUEST:

We would like to add API to StructuredViewer, AbstractTableViewer, and TableViewer to fix a long-standing bug that caused setSelection() to always scroll to the selection even if the reveal parameter was false.  The bugfix requires additional API on AbstractTableViewer so that we can make the fix in the widget-independent layer (AbstractTableViewer) instead of just fixing it for TableViewer, and additional API on StructuredViewer so that clients calling preservingSelection() can make use of the fixed behaviour.

BUG:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164796

RISKS:
None, the only subclass of AbstractTableViewer we know of is part of Nebula and we are coordinating this change with them.

PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS:
None

Thanks,
Boris.
