Implementing Equinox's CommandProvider to Extend the Console

The Equinox console can be extended by any bundle that registers a CommandProvider service. SAT now includes such a bundle that adds the following commands to the console:

---SAT Bundle Dependencies---
  depend <id> - show dependents the specified bundle
  dependall <id> - show all dependents of the specified bundle
  prereq <id> - show prerequisites of the specified bundle
  prereqall <id> - show all prerequisites of the specified bundle
---SAT Logging---
  loglevel {(debug|info|warning|error)} - query and control log level
  trace {(on|off)} - query and control tracing

The bundle is called org.eclipse.soda.sat.equinox.console.cmdprov, and is optional and specific to the Equinox console.
