eclipse.platform.swt Add snippets project to Tycho build #1390

The snippets project org.eclipse.swt.snippets is currently not part of the Tycho build. This change adds it to the build using a Maven plugin to copy the OS-specific classpath file according to the current environment.

⚠️ This is only for sharing the state of work, as this will require Tycho support for classpath exclusion to work properly:

Is there a plan to finish this one?

From SWT side, this is kind of finished, but it's currently blocked until a further Tycho feature is implemented. Since I do not see any strong demand for that feature, we may also close this PR and accept the current situation. It's only about issues with snippet modifications always being detected late/manually, as there is no automated verification for them.

Closing this one as Tycho side hadn't progressed in a year. Please reopen if/when Tycho used to compile platform supports the needed feature.
