Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I wanted to make xmldocs participate in rename in FsAutoComplete, so that when a user renamed a constructor parameter, or function binding parameter, etc. the matching xmlDoc on that element, as well as any `paramRef`s referring to that parameter, would be updated as well. This turned out to be very difficult.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I'd like the PreXmlDoc/XmlDoc structures to track the names (including source-file-ranges of the actual name string) of the parsed Xml Doc Comments for structures that can have parameters. This includes, but may not be limited to
* implicit and explicit constructors
* DU case type constructors
* let bindings that describe functions
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
FSAC starts doing _a lot_ of re-parsing of XmlDocs :)
