Nithin/snippets

Snippets are substitutions that apply in the line when a trigger key is pressed. Encompasses #209, however it is not purely visual.

This is a preliminary impl just to keep it simple.
TODO:

• Add position of cursor after command is entered.
• Regex

Just trying out the ls expansion, most of the time I would also like to add a space if I were to keep typing after the snippet has expanded. like if I wanted to type ls home I would want the space to be insert automatically. Maybe we add option to append a space, maybe we detect this and only insert once you start typing. I'm not sure how generic this logic would be, and maybe we should wait for more use cases and implement more powerful snippets.

Otherwise looks good 👍

Could just simply add a space in the snippet itself to get this behaviour, or add an option in SnippetInfo. This shouldn't be automatic for the cases where that is not preferred behaviour, such as gc mapping to git commit -m " where the user would like to type in the message right after the quote.

Will also throw up a few issues for the TODO left for this
