Change definition / signature of method or function #3122

Description

@karuppiah7890

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use IntelliJ and VS Code - both for development. VS Code usually for my open source contributions. I noticed that IntelliJ has this cool feature to change the definition / signature of a method or a function - where one can change the parameter's type, add a parameter with a default value for all the callers, and change the return parameters too

Describe the solution you'd like
VS Code to provide the feature to change the definition / signature of a method or function, which changes all the references of the method or function based on the change

Describe alternatives you've considered
Some features of the change signature feature can still be used currently - For example changing the name of the parameters - which will only cause a change inside the method or function and it can be done by doing just a rename. Other than that, the only alternate solution for me now is - to find all the references and change all the callers to add a parameter and do something similar for other things too.

Additional context
It would be cool for VS code to provide this feature. Not sure how it will be implemented. Is this a feature that should be provided by gopls? And if help is needed, I can pitch in - raise some PRs. I need to learn some stuff, which I can surely do. It would be a pleasure to raise PR for one of the greatest extensions for Golang 😄
