Right-click > Show in File Tree doesn't scroll item into view

1. Open a project where the file tree is tall enough to require scrolling
2. Open a file that would be "below the fold" in the tree. (E.g. in the Brackets source, with src and a couple of its subfolders expanded, open a unit test file via Quick Open).
3. Right-click the file in the working set and choose 'Show in File Tree'

Result: The necessary tree nodes expand, but the tree doesn't scroll to make the item visible.

This worked in 1.0 but is broken in 1.1...

This issue was caused by c931ef29eac958d2a6d445e0982cfb7367c1bae8.
The issue is that the expanded file tree is not yet rendered when the code tries to scroll the expanded item into view.

@MarcelGerber Would your PR adobe/brackets#10689 take care of this issue?

No it won't, it only applies to user scrolling.
Fixing this issue is not as easy as the other one as the _renderTree call is, IIRC, caused by an event in this case (in an event handler that's used for multiple types of events, so we can't easily determine who sent it).
