Investigate: Support ACR module reference completions

[bhsubra]

Support ACR module reference completions. Part of #3964

@StephenWeatherford, let's investigate and document the options here.

[GSerjo]

Could you please clarify. Is auto-completion supposed to work for private registries in VSCode or not? It works fine for public registries but doesn't work for private ones.

and no auto-completion for private registry. The module has been detected and works fine, just no auto completion (intellisense)

It looks like this issue relates to it, but I'm not sure. The issue was renamed (initially it was support, now investigate), the milestone has been moved several times. Sorry if it's something else and doesn't relate to auto-completion for private registries.

[StephenWeatherford]

This is definitely something we'd like to do but other priorities have pushed it behind. I'm hoping we can get to it within the next few milestones.

One other potential enhancement: I noticed if I type a '/' in the registry path, completion is no longer provided (see below) I think it makes sense to make this work similarly to how resource namespace completions work.

Yes, that is definitely annoying, the completions were implemented incorrectly here. Someday hopefully I'll get to fixing that.

[StephenWeatherford]

@levimatheri I'd actually suggest you create a new bug for this, if one doesn't already exist. It's separate to the private ACR completions.

Looking forward for this feature as I'm structuring a global ACR structure for the enterprise and would be great if the development teams could consume it without having to access the Portal to get a list of available modules and their versions.
