"ENOENT: no such file 'template.json'" when using 'parameters.json' with 'template.bicep'

[AlanMcBee]

Does this occur consistently? Yes
Repro steps:
Use both the ARM VSCode extension and the Bicep VSCode extension

1. Create or open a Bicep file. If created from an ARM template.json file, remove the template.json file, so that only the template.bicep file exists.
2. Create or open the corresponding ARM template.parameters.json parameters file
3. Navigate around in VSCode in the parameters file for a while, including switching away from the window to another window

Expected: no error
Actual: toast notification: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'c:...\template.json'

I am using only Bicep. Although I could keep a compiled template.json file just to prevent the error or check the linkage between template and parameters using the VSCode extensions, this seems sub-efficient.
