insertText marked as deprecated

See original GitHub issue

insertText marked as deprecated here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/blob/9de8809400b7c443bc25f211dfaddcb74675b2d7/types/src/main.ts#L1467

The docs say to use textEdit instead, which is misleading. As the only way I can create working snippets is to populate insertText.

Done.

The problem is that the insert position for the text edit needs to cover the whole region to be replaced not only the remaining part. So if the user types T and then code complete is computed the insert edit needs to look like

textEdit: TextEdit.insert(Position.create(position.line, position.character - 1), 'TypeScript'),

This being said I think we should consider to un-deprecate insertText since there we do the prefix matching automatically since both are strings.
