Plug the platform e4 PerspectiveSwitcher addon into the top trim bar and right-align it via a stretch spacer, matching the Eclipse IDE layout.

This PR has to wait for 2026-09 release is out as it contains eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui#4174 (fixes platform code to account for E4 defined perspectives). One can test right now if in chemclipse workspace imports latest org.eclipse.jface and org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugins from master.

Plug the platform e4 PerspectiveSwitcher addon into the top trim bar and
right-align it via a stretch spacer, matching the Eclipse IDE layout.
ElementIds PerspectiveSwitcher and PerspectiveSpacer have to remain
exactly the same as they are hardcoded in Eclipse Platform code.

Can we disable this with a setting? Some labs only use one perspective and this makes the UI more complex.
