#55 - Part 1 - Initial snippet service

[bryphe]

• Integrates vscode-snippet-parser for snippet parsing logic
• Adds unit tests + scaffolds service via Oni.snippets.insertSnippet, ie: Oni.snippets.insertSnippet("foo${1:test}")

Remaining work:

• Properly handle placeholders
• Hook up selection / placeholder tab stops
• Synchronize updates from buffer
• Integration as a completion provider
• Add ability for plugins to contribute snippets, and bring default set in

Any plan on intergrating the snippet kind of language server's completion (i.e. TextDocumentClientCapabilities.completion.completionItem.snippetSupport. See also CompletionItem.insertTextFormat) ?

[bryphe]

@Contextualist - yes, definitely! Logged an issue to track that integration specifically (#1291)

@bryphe Great job! How long does it take to release binaries? :)

Not hard to release binaries - but this is only the very first change for snippets (just "part 1") - still a lot more work to be done to have it be usable.

Ran the OSX tests locally on 0c1ab12, they were green
