[eclipse-pmc] PMC approval needed for API addition

BACKGROUND:
 A new feature has been added for 3.7 to sync the workspace state
 with the underlying file system in a timely manner.
 See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=303517

 By default the feature is disabled. We need new a new option to decide
 whether this feature should be enabled or not.

GOALS/BENEFITS:

 We could allow users to decide what kind of auto-refresh they want to use.
 It could be done via new UI. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340978

ASSOCIATED BUGS:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341075

RISKS:

 None, if the preference is disabled. When enabled, some part of UI,
 like Text Editor may ask to perform a refresh even,
 if it was already done in the background.

PERFORMANCE IMPACT:
None.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
