Adds Ctrl +/- (including numpad +/-) zoom support to the Eclipse Console view to align behavior with text editors (Issue #2578).

Changes:

• Installs a key listener on the console’s StyledText to detect Ctrl+Plus / Ctrl+Minus.
• Implements font resizing logic with min/max bounds and a step size, creating a derived SWT Font.
• Disposes the created font on view disposal.

Have you thought about persisting the current zoom over the current session? That will be likely next immediate customer request after using this feature for the first time & IDE restart.

Assuming the code moved to the page (from the console), we would always know "where we are" and should be able to persist the zoom in the preference store by using the IConsole.getType() as part of the key.

The Console view can be zoomed when I'm in the Java editor and I press: Ctrl and =

The change here makes me press Ctrl+ though, i.e. Ctrl and Shift and =. That seems odd. For Ctrl - its the same.

The Java editor zoom in / zoom out resets whatever the zoom level was in the console, which is probably OK.

Adds Ctrl +/- key handling to the Console view’s text widget to support zooming the console font size, addressing the usability gap described in #2578.

Changes:

• Add a key listener on the console StyledText to zoom font size on Ctrl + / Ctrl - (including numpad +/-).
• Implement per-console-type font persistence via the console plug-in preference store and restore it on page creation.
• Minor whitespace adjustment in ConsoleView.dispose().
