Do not block UI Thread while computing completion proposals

Run requests for completion in a dedicated thread so the UI Thread isn't blocked.

This option is useful when completion proposals are long to compute, as it will still allow to type or use other parts of the IDE in the meantime.

Some completion participants may prevent this option from being effective, and UI Thread may still be used even if this option is set.
Opened Java file editors need to be closed and reopened for this option to be effective.
