Defaulting to "smooth" creates blurry images when first displaying the image in a monitor with a high zoom level (e.g. 200%). This is a temporary workaround until https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/2910 is properly fixed.

This would basically render the SDK unusable on HiDPI monitors when using Windows 🙁 |

Defaulting to "smooth" creates blurry images when first displaying the image in a monitor with a high zoom level (e.g. 200%).
This is a temporary workaround until #2052 is properly fixed.
The auto-scale method can still be manually set to "smooth" by setting this VM argument:
-Dswt.autoScale.method=smoothFIXME
This PR is just a workaround and I am only keeping it here in store in case there is no proper fix in time for M2. I'll keep it drafted until noon but feel free to review now.
Screenshots
When starting the workbench in a monitor at 200% zoom level and with monitor-specific UI scaling enabled. (original screenshots.zip)
In green you can see which images look better using the nearest scale method (and in rot, the same images when using smooth scaling, for comparison).
Auto-scale method nearest (the new default when applying this PR)
Auto-scale method smooth (the previous default)
