[UI][Usability] Streamline UI for server editor and all possible options
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-10550
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10550
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: JBossAS/Servers
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M5
            Reporter: Rob Stryker
            Assignee: Rob Stryker
             Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta1


The Server Editor has often been called "too busy" with unrelated settings populating it in a rather disorganized fashion. Less-often used settings, such as which pollers to use, or manually setting ports, have often been suggested that they be hidden a bit so as not to distract users. 

With several jiras open for adding additional settings (ex: expose management port?  or, for openshift, automatically git-add new files before commit?), simply throwing them into the Server Editor would only serve to clutter it further. A uniform UI with a real design and intuitive location for new settings should be created, with clear outlines for what belongs in the server editor (very little) vs what is a more advanced setting and can be hidden (though still not too far... user should not need to go 'DIG' to find it).
