Fix JIDE/Windows-LookAndFeel crash on non-Windows JDKs

Browse Source 
JIDE 3.6.18's LookAndFeelFactory contains compile-time
\`instanceof com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel\` checks in
multiple methods, including a JIDE PropertyChangeListener that fires on every
UIManager.setLookAndFeel call.  On Linux and macOS JDKs the class is genuinely
absent from java.desktop, so the JVM throws NoClassDefFoundError the first time
JIDE's dispatch code is executed (during JFrame init and again from
JideSplitPane.updateUI on each LAF change).

Two complementary fixes:

1. Pass an explicit MetalLookAndFeel instance to the 3-arg
   installJideExtension(UIDefaults, LookAndFeel, int) overload so JIDE's Metal
   branch matches first and never falls through to the Windows branch in the
   normal install path.

2. Add a no-op stub class at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel
   so that the compile-time class reference resolves on non-Windows JDKs.  The
   stub reports isSupportedLookAndFeel = false and is never instantiated -
   JIDE only uses it for instanceof comparisons against the active LAF, which
   always return false in our setup.  On Windows JDKs the real class in
   java.desktop is loaded by the platform classloader and shadows this stub.
