Prevent initial build-path errors on new external-folders in container

When adding an external-folder ('library-folder') to a
classpath-container for the first time the initial build (without a
rebuild, e.g. through auto-build) leads to a build-path (validation)
error.
This happens for example when adding to a MANIFEST.MF a new requirement
on a bundle that's a directory and not a jar and the PDE
'required-Plugins' classpath container is updated.
