Support "find all references" #187

Limit to analyzed files
By default, use heuristic of checking for substrings (E.g. component(s) of the name, case insensitively) to filter out files that don't match

Phan's dead code detection already has the capability to track references.

This can be enabled, used, then cleared to report the file and line of the references (and subsequent LSP requests shouldn't re-analyze those files)

This catches a much wider range of references
Another approach may be to analyze files and add a plugin to check function/method invocations, property/constant accesses, etc.
