JSDoc : add support for @method (and @property)

Suggestion

It would be great to add support for @method and @property (and maybe @memberof) now that annotations are on their way.

I found bug #15715 that only talks about @property support but I think this makes more sense to see those in a same light because they should have a very common implementation and moreover they meet the same goals as a whole. At least I think and I explain my reasoning about this below!

Use Cases

I have functions that do add methods and/or getters on a class right now, waiting for annotations to get their way in JS/TS. But let's say this: when annotations are here, those 2 flags support will be needed anyway (or at least I think so: I don't see how to make IntelliSense work without those)!

/**
* Some class
 * @class
 */
class Test {
  /* whatever */
}

// this adds a #foo() method on the class prototype as well as a #bar getter(/setter)
someMethodAddingABehavior(Test, ...params);

And tomorrow with annotations:

/**
* Some class
 * @class
 */
@someAnnotationAddingABehavior(...params)
class Test {
  /* whatever */
}

Examples

I'd like to be able to document those doing something like:

/**
 * What foo is doing is great!
 * @method foo
 * @param {string} testParam some testing parameter
 * @returns {string} some random string
 * @memberof Test.prototype
 */
/**
 * Bar is awesome too!
 * @property {number} bar
 * @memberof Test.prototype
 */
someMethodAddingABehavior(Test, ...params);

Or at least to be able to document them in the class itself:

/**
* Some class
 * @class
 */
class Test {
  /* whatever */

  /**
   * What foo is doing is great!
   * @method foo
   * @param {string} testParam some testing parameter
   * @returns {string} some random string
   */
  /**
   * Bar is awesome too!
   * @property {number} bar
   */
}

With support of these, I would expect vscode to suggest to me the foo method and the bar property when completing properties of a value of type Test.

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Non vengono indicati file sorgente o test. Inizia individuando la gestione esistente delle annotazioni JSDoc e il percorso utilizzato per VS Code IntelliSense, quindi determina in che modo @method e @property dovrebbero contribuire ai membri di Test. Il lavoro è completato quando i metodi e le proprietà esterni documentati compaiono nel completamento senza modificare il JavaScript emesso.
