Research direction

Start by reading the VS Code workspaceSymbolProvider API linked in the issue and tracing the CodeQL language server's existing symbol support. Check issue #614 for related context; done means the CodeQL Go To Symbol command works across the workspace.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement VSCode

The Go To Symbol... command is not working for Code QL. We need to implement the workspaceSymbolProvider in the language server.

This will also probably be a solution for #614.
