Automatic insert or delete ending brackets

[pawelzwronek]

• VSCode Version: 1.22.2
• OS Version: Win10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write a line with missing some brackets at the end: let a = max(0, 2 * (b+1|) with cursor placed before last ending bracket, as shown with |

Feature request:
After pressing ) once insert or delete as many ')' as needed so the error [ts] ')' expected. will disappear.

Today's behavior:
Now I have to first press as many ) so the cursor is placed at the end, skipping over the existing brackets(it's quite annoying), and then manually repair missing brackets 😢

Shared the same root cause as #37315 and #6841, let's track this issue in #6841 . We don't check whether a open or close bracket/paren is already paired or not at this moment.
