Diff to patch SWTAccessor

We updated the target platform to 2021-09 for our Eclipse RCP application that uses JOGL (via Jzy3d) and found an issue.

When JOGL's SWTAccessor class is loaded (for a NewtCanvasSWT or GLCanvas), it initializes some field to point to methods in SWT's internal classes. The recent release of SWT 4.20 separated some gtk methods off to gtk3 and gtk4 specific bindings. This breaks the initialization code when looking for gtk_widget_get_window.

A patch from https://github.com/sgothel/jogl/pull/108 to fix the issue is attached. This patch adds a check for a gtk3 subpackage and finds the relocated methods in there. Note, this new package was not exported until SWT 4.23 (aka 3.119.0 or v4950) so intervening versions will not work when using OSGi class loading.
