[eclipse-pmc] PMC approval to add a new option in the code formatter

BACKGROUND:
 A new feature has been added for 3.6 to enable/disable the code formatter 
for portions of a 
source code. Right now there is no default value for these two options 
(enabling/disabling tags).
The new behavior is triggered when the tags are specified. If no tags are
specified to disable or enabled the code formatter, the new feature is not 
enabled.
In order to make it possible to add default values in the future, we need 
a new option to decide whether
this feature should be enabled or not.
 
GOALS/BENEFITS: 
 Having this new option for 3.6 will make it possible to add default 
values for the enabling/disabling tags without
the risk of breaking existing users of this feature.

ASSOCIATED BUGS:
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=311582

RISKS:
 Users that did set the disabling/enabling tags will have to also enable 
the new option.

PERFORMANCE IMPACT:
 None.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Olivier
