Enhance Quick Action support to suggest missing project and ELB references


When working in Visual Studio, the Lightbulb / Quick Action system is an extremely useful tool to developers when language integration analysis of the code can identify something that can be fixed automatically. Each language integration must define its own quick actions. Currently, SDI only supports automatically importing missing namespaces for types and extension methods.

One action that would be very useful is detecting missing references for known assembly/ELBs and projects that are a part of the namespace. We frequently have symbol info beyond the current project available and can make educated suggestions of what we think the user is trying to do. While the add reference dialog does its job sufficiently, it would be faster to not need to navigate to a dialog at all.
