Add snippets for all Symbol classes

Today the extension contain just a few snippets

Snippet	Description
simpleMarkerSymbol	Creates a SimpleMarkerSymbol in a MapView. Contains placeholder for style.
pictureMarkerSymbol	Creates a PictureMarkerSymbol in a MapView.
simpleLineSymbol	Creates a SimpleLineSymbol in a MapView. Contains placeholder for style, cap and join.
simpleFillSymbol	Creates a SimpleFillSymbol in a MapView. Contains placeholder for style.
pictureFillSymbol	Creates a PictureFillSymbol in a MapView.

But this is just a small subset of all the Symbols.

It would be nice to have snippets for the following classes: (just the ones with the checkboxes; 21 in total)

• [ ] CIMSymbol
• [ ] WebStyleSymbol. I think adding the enums for WebStyleSymbol2D and the WebStyleSymbol3D is too much
• For 2D Symbols
  • MarkerSymbol (Points)
    • [ ] PictureMarkerSymbol
    • [ ] SimpleMarkerSymbol
  • LineSymbol (Polylines)
    • [ ] SimpleLineSymbol
  • FillSymbol (Polygons)
    • [ ] PictureFillSymbol
    • [ ] SimpleFillSymbol
  • [ ] Text Symbol (Labels)
• For 3D symbols:
  • PointSymbol3D
    • [ ] IconSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] ObjectSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] TextSymbol3DLayer
  • LineSymbol3D
    • [ ] LineSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] PathSymbol3DLayer
  • PolygonSymbol3D
    • [ ] ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] FillSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] IconSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] LineSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] ObjectSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] TextSymbol3DLayer
    • [ ] WaterSymbol3DLayer
  • MeshSymbol3D
    • [ ] FillSymbol3DLayer

Instead of just the properties:

{
  type: "simple-marker",
  color: [255, 255, 255, 0.25],
  size: 12,
  style: "circle",
  outline: {
    width: 1,
    color: [255, 255, 255, 1]
  }
}

/* Snippet
 "SimpleMarkerSymbol": {
    "body": [
      "{",
      "\ttype: \"simple-marker\",",
      "\tcolor: [255, 255, 255, 0.25],",
      "\tsize: 12,",
      "\tstyle: \"${1|circle,square,cross,x,diamond,triangle,path|}\",",
      "\toutline: {",
      "\t\twidth: 1,",
      "\t\tcolor: [255, 255, 255, 1]",
      "\t}",
      "}"
    ],
    "description": "Create a SimpleMarkerSymbol",
    "prefix": "simpleMarkerSymbol"
  }
*/

I would suggest something like:

new SimpleMarkerSymbol({
  type: "simple-marker", // required only when autocasting
  color: [255, 255, 255, 0.25],
  size: 12,
  style: "circle",
  outline: {
    width: 1,
    color: [255, 255, 255, 1]
  }
})

/* Snippet
"": {
"prefix": "",
"body": [
	"new SimpleMarkerSymbol({",
	"\ttype: \"simple-marker\", // required only when autocasting",
	"\tcolor: [255, 255, 255, 0.25],",
	"\tsize: 12,",
	"\tstyle: \"${1|circle,square,cross,x,diamond,triangle,path|}\",",
	"\toutline: {",
	"\t\twidth: 1,",
	"\t\tcolor: [255, 255, 255, 1]",
	"\t}",
	"})",
],
"description": ""
}

Note: I think these are all symbols. Checking the symbol builder gallery I think I haven't left anything out... 😅

Does it make sense @kellyhutchins ? // cc: @RalucaNicola

Yes 100% it would be fantastic to have snippets for all of the symbol classes
