incorporate language server directly in the upstream `nu` executable #8

Open jokeyrhyme opened 1 year ago

we should explore this first, as it might not be worth the trade-offs
this will make it easier to distribute the language server (as it will literally be in the same file that everyone is already downloading/compiling)
this would make the one nu executable larger/slower, but how much larger/slower?
can we assume that most people running nu are also writing code in the nushell language, and therefore most nu users will benefit?

probably could be done concurrently with #7 or after

It might be possible to make this a nushell plugin, provided it can still receive stdin/stdout and/or TCP the way it would when called directly from an LSP client
