Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Win10
• VS Code Version: 1.24.1
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.17.5
• A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

class A {};
void func(A a);
void func(int a);

int main() {
    int a = 5;
    func(a);//  Parameter hints prompt 'void func(A a)' , but it should automatic display 'void func(int a)'
}

There is currently no type deduction in parameter hints. The best we do right now is match the number of arguments when deciding which one to mark as the active one. This is the same behavior as Visual Studio 2017.

The only difference right now is that VS Code doesn't let us know if you changed which overload you're looking at, so we don't have any control over how they reset the selected overload as you type. All extensions I've used suffer from that.

Please implement this! Every programming language has parameters, most also have types, so this would benefit most users. similar to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/12432
