Provide option to organize imports as part of format

This feature request is to provide a new option that would automatically run organize imports as part of format.

While VS Code could implement this itself today, handling this on the TS Server would have a few key advantages:

• It would let us edit the document in a single go. Otherwise we have to first format the document and then organize imports. This would cause some flickering and may result in multiple undo stops
• Other consumers of TS could benefit from the feature

Testing microsoft/vscode#48150

This would be awesome.

Hi guys

It is really annoying that my prettier have conflict with auto organize imports. @mjbvz Could you please tell if you have any progress on it?

As workaround I use

"editor.formatOnSaveTimeout": 1000

to give prettier a chance to make correct formatting.

Would love this action to happen before formatting, since may users use prettier. Currently, I organize imports (which does not respect prettier formatting rules) and then format with prettier (manually or onSave)
