Contribute a banner to the CEditor and CLspEditor to promote the new C/C++ editing experience based on LSP. The banner in CEditor enables a quick switch to the LSP editor, and in the CLspEditor it enables a quick switch back to the traditional CEditor. If the editor is open on a specific project and that project has project specific preferences for prefer_lsp, instead of automatically changing the setting, the property page is opened. TODO: - [ ] Externalize strings (and change problem severity back to warning) - [ ] Add preference to disable the banners in the editors - [ ] New help page and update TRY_LSP_HELP_PATH - [ ] Fix background re-opened editors after restart Requires eclipse-cdt/cdt#1088 Fixes eclipse-cdt/cdt#968
