A separate command for remapping all kinds of key shortcuts Code supports

[rebornix]

Our current remappers can only map keystorkes we registered in package.json but we can't do this for all kinds of key shortcuts. However we can provide a command to allow users to do that, by leveraging arguments of keybindings. For example

    {
        "key": "F3",
        "command": "vim.remap",
        "when": "editorTextFocus",
        "args": {
            "value": ["a", "b", "c", "<Esc>"]
        }
    }

F3 can enter Insert Mode, insert bc and quit Insert Mode. And we don't need to make our package.json dirty.

To clarify, this is a feature request so the example posted above will not work.

@millionbonus feel free to make a PR.

OK~ It seems that I had misunderstood that the change log of v0.7.0 said "Added new remapping options to remap any key". So that I thought it should be able to work as the issue described.

New Features:

....
Added new remapping options to remap any key. #1543 As an example, this functionality can cover #1505 and #1452.
