Update npm package dependencies, in order to support the latest version of the Language Server Protocol #134

I'm working on adding inlay hint support to nimsuggest and the Nim language server. Inlay hints are supported in the latest (3.17) version of the Language Server Protocol. But for this to work in VS code with this extension, the npm package vscode-languageclient needed to be updated, so this was done in this pull request. Updating the npm dependencies also resolves several known security vulnerabilities in the old versions of the packages that were used previously.

This pull request also includes fixes for compilation with Nim version 1.6.16 (the latest stable version in the 1.6.x series). There's also an addition to the compilation instructions in the README.md file - there's an extra step needed, before the package can be compiled, because the nimsuggest sources are required for compilation, however (as far as I know), they were dropped from the 'nim' nimble package.

There's also a new configuration option for tracing the communication between the VS code extension and the language server (and writing in the 'Output' window), when this extension is run in lsp mode.
