Ability to disable icons and details in suggestions #68557

Hi,

I'm switching between "editor.quickSuggestions" true and false, but mostly I miss the suggestions list. The issue is in VS Code it's too much noisy and distracting. But it can be easily fixed by adding an ability for users to decide if they want to see icons and details in suggestions list. Also, maxSuggestionsToShow = 12 in my opinion is too much, it should be an 8 like it's in Sublime.

In my opinion, these settings should be adjustable by the user:

const maxSuggestionsToShow = 12; // suggestWidget.ts
iconsInSuggestions: true, // editorOptions.ts
this.details = new SuggestionDetails(...); // suggestWidget.ts
.monaco-editor .suggest-widget { width: 430px; } // suggest.css

Suggestion for configurations:

"editor.suggest.showDetails": boolean, // by default true
"editor.suggest.showIcons": boolean, // by default true
"editor.suggest.maxSuggestionsToShow": number // by default 8

I'm not touched .monaco-editor .suggest-widget { width: 430px; }, but I think then details are disabled this should be smaller than 430px.
