Windows - Plasticfs: Enabled mounting plasticfs workspaces under network share paths

Sometimes running commands under a plasticfs mount can fail with the message 'The volume does not contain a recognized file system.' This is because plasticfs by default do not use the Windows Mount Manager. In order to work around this it's now possible to create workspaces with network paths such as '\\workspace\path' (or any other path in the form ' \\____\____') which will use the Windows Mount Manager and therefore doesn't have this problem.

For example, lets say you have a repository called 'Test Repo' that you want to run a python script in but keep encountering an error similar to the one above. To work around this you can create a new workspace for 'Test Repo' with the path '\\test\repo' that will work for running your python script in.

Creating the workspace in this way has these minor usage issues:

* The 'Open in Windows Explorer' menu option (in Plastic & Gluon) doesn't open the selected folder/file. It just opens a new Windows Explorer window.

* The thumbnail preview doesn't work in Gluon.

* The workspace cannot be moved (using the 'cm workspace move' command).

Bug

All Platforms - JetBrains IDE Plugin: Fixed UI lag after opening files

We detected that some files caused the UI to freeze after opening them. This happened for files that were modified after applying a shelveset in the current workspace. The annotate operation that the IDE runs after open took a long time until it failed.

We modified this so the UI doesn't get stuck anymore. The annotate operation is now safely running in the background and doesn't block any other underlying Plastic SCM operations.
