Proposed API for showing buttons inline after the input box

[TylerLeonhardt]

Here's the proposal:

declare module 'vscode' {

	export enum QuickInputButtonLocation {
		/**
		 * In the title bar.
		 */
		Title = 1,

		/**
		 * To the right of the input box.
		 */
		Inline = 2
	}

	export interface QuickInputButton {
		/**
		 * Where the button should be rendered. The default is {@link QuickInputButtonLocation.Title}.
		 * @note This property is ignored if the button was added to a QuickPickItem.
		 */
		location?: QuickInputButtonLocation;
	}
}

Here's an example of what inline looks like:

@TylerLeonhardt while there's an API proposal open for quick input buttons could it be extended to support a couple of other features?

1. An optional when property with which we could hide/show buttons dynamically? At the moment I think our only option is modify the contents of the buttons array.
2. Support for toggle buttons, per Option buttons for the inputs. #144956 (comment)

The second of these would be particularly useful for an extension I help maintain, but if it's not within sight then perhaps I will tackle a PR for #185356

Toggle buttons would be awesome! That would a perfect solution to my problem that prompted #185356.

@gjsjohnmurray can you get an issue going for number 1?

We don't have toggles within sight at the moment... but do add your scenario to that issue which will help boost it.
