Better code completions

[nosami]

Currently /autocomplete returns a list of symbols ... but only after a '.'

Also we don't get any parameter information or 'snippets'

[nosami]

We're currently missing keywords such as public, private, await, linq keywords etc.

Also we need Console.WL to complete WriteLine

[nosami]

Attributes should complete without the word attribute, e.g. [Fact] vs [FactAttribute]

I'm not sure if this makes any sense by parameter intellisense? Maybe we need to expand the response type to support parameter intellisense for method invocations

Vs treats these at two separate features - completion and signature help. Some other editors (cough eclipse cough) merge them into a single list. I wonder if there shouldn't be a separate endpoint for returning overload info for VS like clients. At the same time, this response probably does need more info to enable eclipse style presentation before a symbol name is chosen.

Lets have separate endpoint then. We should allow editors to do both the VS approach and the snippet approach.

Created a separate ticket for snippets #38

Need to order completions like this :-

* Completions are ranked in the following order
    * Exact start match (case sensitive)
    * Exact start match (case insensitive)
    * CamelCase completions
    * Subsequence match completions

Is there any updates with attributes autocomplete? Suffix "Attribute" is really annoying.
