Description

It would be great to have quickfix suggestions for importing modules.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing code action implementations in the elixir ls codebase, especially in lib/elixir ls/ code. Look at the LSP specification for CodeAction and CodeActionKind. The 13 comments in the issue may provide more concrete scenarios. Engage with maintainers to define the scope: whether it should suggest imports for undefined variables or optimize imports. A good starting point is to implement a simple code action that suggests adding a missing import when the compiler reports an undefined function or module.
