More projects are starting to get build errors because of the SWTBot
missing dependency. Maybe we should go ahead with the release a.s.a.p.?

It will also be useful for users to get early visibility of some changes in
SWTBot 2.4.0 so they can update their code in time for Neon, such as:
- deprecated classes and methods related to SWTBotView menus (
https://git.eclipse.org/r/68108)
- change (fix) of thrown exception when Menu/MenuItem not found (
https://git.eclipse.org/r/70418)

While we're on the subject of releases, do we always step every SWTBot
plug-in to the same common version? In some projects we only step the
version of plug-ins that actually change, it is quite easy to do with the
API tooling.

Potentially (if no new API is added until then) we could release 2.4.x
instead of 2.5.0 in June?
