Use a different gutter glyph for unresolved comment threads

[gjsjohnmurray]

Type: Feature Request

The comments API already supports an optional state property of a CommentThread. That property is of type CommentThreadState which is an enum representing Unresolved and Resolved.

When a gutter glyph is added to an editor line in which at least one CommentThread ends, the comment codicon (ea6b) is displayed as a gutter glyph.

As an enhancement I suggest that if any of the threads whose range ends on a given line has its state set to Unresolved then the gutter glyph should be comment-unresolved (ec0a).

Looking ahead, PR #173305 proposes a new CommentVisibility enum for a new optional visibility property of Comment. If this gets merged the gutter glyph should perhaps become comment-draft (ec0e) if any of its threads returns hasDraftComments as true.
