Description

They provide similar functionality, are similar in appearance, suffer from the same issues and even have similar codebases. I believe we could be more efficient at maintaining both datatip and signature help functionality if we combine it in a single package that provides two services.

Additionally, this one is now TypeScript'ified, while `atom-ide-signature-help` isn't.

Research direction

Start by comparing the datatip and atom-ide-signature-help package codebases, focusing on their overlay and float-pane functionality. Define the shared package boundary and verify that it can provide both datatip and signature help services, including TypeScript coverage for atom-ide-signature-help.
