Calling MapWidget.setCenter() inside MapWidget.checkResize() can cause problems when a zoom is in progress

Found in Release:
gwt-maps 1.0.1

Detailed description:
Reported by: wh1337
Summarized from : Maps API Issue Tracker
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=833

The user has a Timer which callse MapWidget.checkResize() 5 times a second.
 When a zoom is in progress, sometimes the map API simply "stops working."

The problem was tracked down to the additional 'setCenter()' call inside of
the checkResize() wrapper.

Workaround if you have one:
1) Don't call MapWidget.checkResize() so frequently, or during a zoom.
2) Use MapWidget.getPeer() to get the GMap2 JavaScriptObject and use a JSNI
method to call the raw checkResize() method which will not include a
setCenter() call.

Proposed patch at

http://galgwt-reviews.appspot.com/808

This patch removes the setCenter() from checkResize(), but then adds a second 
method
checkResizeAndSetCenter().  Hopefully, if someone was depending on the old 
behavior
they'll quickly find the new method.
