…ipse-platform#2608 If there is a parent present at the moment when the window is created then set the initial position of the new window to be near the top-left corner of its parent.

What it does
If there is a parent present at the moment when the window is created then set the initial position of the new window to be near the top-left corner of its parent. This avoids unnecessary DPI change events in case that the new window stays in the same monitor were its parent is.
Fixes #2608
How to test
You need an SDK / IDE to be able to reproduce the error i.e. you will either have to test this in tonight's I-BUILD or you have to manually drop the newly compiled
Control.classfile inside the proper SWT Jar of your Eclipse IDE/SDK.For instructions on how to reproduce the error, see: #2608 (comment)
