Description
As a user, when editing `template.yaml` or any other SAM/CFN json or yaml template, I want language services (LSP) for CloudFormation syntax:
- Auto-completion
- Go to Definition
- Find References
- Smart rename
- File outline
- Inline errors

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the CloudFormation IDE tooling linked in the issue and the existing SAM/CFN authoring path for template.yaml and JSON or YAML templates. Done means providing the requested language services: completion, definition and reference navigation, rename, file outline, and inline errors.
