Extract to module

[alex-frankel]

Make it easy to select a section of code in a bicep file and move that code into a module and replace the selected code with the instantiation of that now module.

For example, if I have a bicep file like the below:

param namePrefix string

resource stg 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2023-04-01' = {
  name: '${namePrefix}${uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)}'
  location: resourceGroup().location
  sku: {
    name: 'Premium_LRS'
  }
  kind: 'StorageV2'
}

If I highlight the storage account resource and execute an "extract to module" command, I should get something like the following:

main.bicep

param namePrefix string

module storageDeploy 'storage.bicep' = {
  params: {
    namePrefix: namePrefix
  }
}

storage.bicep (the command should ask me for this filename)

param namePrefix string

resource stg 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts@2023-04-01' = {
  name: '${namePrefix}${uniqueString(resourceGroup().id)}'
  location: resourceGroup().location
  sku: {
    name: 'Premium_LRS'
  }
  kind: 'StorageV2'
}

Note the command would have needed to notice that the namePrefix param was used in the resource declaration, and replicate that over to the module accordingly.

Per @StephenWeatherford it could also potentially be useful to do the reverse "take this module and inline it into the current file"

Dupe of #8522, but this has more detail.
