File Explorer symlink drag drop support

[Ellested]

With symlinks now being well-supported across many platforms, it would be beneficial to have a feature in Visual Studio Code's file explorer that allows users to quickly create symlinks. Currently, normal drag-and-drop in the file explorer moves files or folders, and holding down the CTRL key copies the source to the destination.

A proposed new feature could be that holding down the ALT key would create a symlink from the source to the destination. Ideally, these symlinks should be relative by default, especially since they are confined to the workspace.
