[eclipse-pmc] API request renaming of StatusAdapter#getHandlingHint()


REQUEST
Change of the following API

int StatusAdapter#getHandlingHint() to be renamed to  int StatusAdapter#getStyle()

void StatusAdapter#setHandlingHint(int handlingHint) to be renamed to StatusAdapter#setStyle(int style)

Addition of the following API
int StatusManager#BLOCK - block the return from handleStatus until the user has responded
int StatusManager#NO_BLOCK - do not block the return from handleStatus until the user has responded

GOALS/BENEFITS:
The name of the handlingHint in the status handling facility should be renamed to be consistent with Eclipse conventions such as SWT. This flag is also stronger than a hint and so the name hint is misleading.

RISKS
No known risks as we are currently the only consumers .
