Add documentation for the added eclipse.appName System Property
The eclipse.appName sytem property allows users to specify on the command line the appName to be used for a specific Eclipse instance. The appName Display property is used by window managers and desktop environments for identification and grouping. This is helpful to distinguish Eclipse instances (e.g., JDT vs CDT) as per default these all are using the same identifier.
