More than one LSP server for one language

[Waqar Ahmed]

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474612

So far no one has done the work, but we are open to it.

Workarounds... it depends. If you are looking to use the extra server
for diagnostics e.g. ruff for python, then the quickest path forward
would be to
1). Add it as a separate plugin like:
https://github.com/KDE/kate/tree/master/addons/eslint
2). Or add it as a new tool in project plugin:
https://github.com/KDE/kate/tree/master/addons/project/tools

For stuff like completion, I am not sure how well that will work even
if we support multiple servers.
