Confusing error message whe missing an 'end' #461

I don't know if this is a LanguageServer problem, a Julia problem, or a me problem but posting it to get some feedback.

In most IDEs / Languages when there is a problem parsing a file due to a missing closing token it is handled by saying expected '}' or whatever the closing identifier is. When the LanguageServer runs into this issue it puts out a message that just says 'Parsing Failure'. It took me a while to equate 'Parsing Failure' with expected 'end'.

Yep this is a work in progress, I've quickly added https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/LanguageServer.jl/pull/259 which should provide a bit more information

Great! Thanks for a quick turnaround.
