Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Currently the Bicep visualizer focuses on the templates for visualizing. That creates general picture of what resources might be deployed via the templates. In many cases that is inaccurate picture as exactly what is deployed and how it is structured (resource groups, subscriptions, etc) depends on the provided bicep parameters file.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
As currently Bicep Snapshots functionality is in preview may be it is time to think about enhancing the Bicep Visualizer to be able to take advantage of Snapshots and visualizer data based on templates and bicep parameters file. That will create a more accurate picture on what is deployed. On top of this you might even be able to drill down on the different properties configured for each resource, the resources will be organized into management groups, subscriptions, resource groups. This could unlock other functionalities like being able to view side by side two diagrams on changes made in the bicep parameters file. For example you are working on visual studio code in Git repository, you make change in the Bicep parameters file. As VSC is able to visualize side by side changes to code before being committed the visualizer should be able to do that as well.
