Description of the new feature/enhancement

Create command snippets like IDE snippets. Users can type something and then press tab to complete automatically. This is basically very simmilar with directory / file auto complete.

This will be very useful for long commands.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

User can configure their snippet in settings.json, for ex:

{
  "snippets" : [
      {
        "snippet": "cd-project-x",
        "command": "cd  D:\Projects\Project-X\"
      },
      {
        "snippet": "dn-build-xxx",
        "command": "dotnet build D:\Projects\Project-X\ --param1 --param2 --param3"
      }
  ]
}
