Describe the bug

I am seeing the signature help popup when I press the , key inside a string literal. This is distracting, as I'm not needing signature help and the popup is obstructing the code I need to see while completing a method call.

In this case, the signature help is constantly obstructing my view of the code when writing SQL inside a string literal. It occurs both inside " and backtick terminated strings, and seems to occur both when gopls.usePlaceholders is true and false.

I would expect that just like autocomplete, we suppress signature help inside the string literal, and that I don't see the signature help window again until I complete the string literal and then press ,.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open editor and start writing out a method call where one argument is a string.
2. When you get to typing the first ( character observe the signature help dialog present itself. This is normal and expected as it is now time to fill in the arguments.
3. Dismiss the signature help window by pressing escape.
4. Start typing a string literal "...
5. Enter a , before closing the string with ".
6. Observe the signature help window come up again when the , is entered. This is unexpected.
