Symbols view should nest elements by their surrounding scope

[odrotbohm]

For a Spring MVC controller class like this:

@Controller
class MyController {

  @GetMapping("/path")
  void foo(@RequestParam String bar) {

  }
}

the Spring Symbols view creates multiple top-level entries:

• Controller bean
• Path mapping for /path
• @RequestParam

It would be nice if the elements were nested inside each other. The parameter annotation as a nested node underneath the method, that in turn underneath the bean etc. Otherwise (and currently) you might end up with a gazillion of @RequestParam list entries that – without that contextual information – are not really helpful on their own.

There is bit of groundwork necessary to fully materialize this on the UI side, but the groundwork is already underway. I hope for the hierarchical view of symbols to appear in the outline view of VSCode as the first step (probably for the 4.29.0 release), then the work continues for the remaining UI work for 4.30.0 or 4.31.0 - just as a quick update.
