No emmet expansions when multiple cursors are used

[medzhidov]

• VSCode Version: 1.3.1
• OS Version: windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

When you try write emmet function with multiple coursors, it will not be work.
Example:
If you try use emmet in next case, you get nothing, just ugly tabs

selector{
        height: 50px !|
        width: 50px !|
        top: -1px !|
}

Its very sadly, can you fix it?

Currently the implementation is intentionally checking for a single selection. Will investigate what it means to support multiple cursors.

In this case i try use !important shortcut, but not succesfully.
It's need in a lot of cases.
Consider the following case:
I created 2-3 div's in html, and some time later i want add span in every div. I want type span and hit tab, but i can't do it, because VSC not supported emmet with multiple cursors.
I leave sublime and atom, but in them it works and it useful.

The current behavior is consistent with the way snippets are handled in the multiple cursor case.

Shifting - depends on the support of multi cursors in snippets.

With the work being done as part of #21943, multi cursor support is doable but the whole snippet expansion is still blocked by #16037

Changes for #21943 is merged.

Set emmet.useNewEmmet to true (in the latest Insiders dated 6/1 or above and eventually in the stable release of 1.13 and higher) to get emmet abbreviation expansions in the suggestion list.
This will work in multi cursor too
