Kawa IDE using LSP - preliminary support

[Per Bothner]

I've checked into master a first cut at a Language Server Protocol server for Kawa.
I've also munged an Emacs client library (based on the Java library).
You can get the latter from:
https://gitlab.com/kashell/lsp-kawa

That link also has instructions and a short status summary.

Feedback and improvements welcome.

This link doesn't seem to be working (is the project set to private maybe?)

Oops. Hopefully fixed now.

I have not tried the LSP features yet but I found that I could not build
Kawa (current GitLab sources) without the LSP dependencies even if I
gave configure the --without-lsp4j option.

It is very possible that I missed something obvious, though I did try a
few other similar new options as well as starting with 'make clean' and
so on. The error messages seemed to arise from attempts at compiling
KawaLanguageServer.java. Since I plan to try out LSP features soon in
any case, I just installed the missing dependencies and then the
compilation was fine as usual.

Oops. Should work now. Thanks for lettering me know.

I added support for other Kawa languages, specifically Common Lisp
and XQuery. The latter required some tweaks to the parser to
record source end position of variable and function references,
to enable "go to definition".
