Problem

When writing HTML in the <template> section of a Vue SFC, tags are not automatically closed even though html.autoClosingTags is set to true in my settings.json. The feature works correctly when editing HTML files in VS Code so I expected it to work within <template> as well.

Reproducible Case

1. Set html.autoClosingTags to true (I think it's true by default though).
2. Create a .vue file.
3. Add a <template> tag and add a <div> tag within it for example.
