clojure-lsp statusbar message position

[Hamido-san]

is there a way to show the clojure-lsp statusbar message to the right of the statusbar items?
vague question, I know, lemme explain:

instead of having the
nREPL ⚡ disconnected
statusbar items suddenly shift to the right to make way for the clojure-lsp message resulting in
🔄 Initializing Clojure language features... nREPL ⚡ disconnected
and a few seconds later suddenly shifting back to
nREPL ⚡ disconnected

is it possible to just show the clojure-lsp message on the right, like this?
nREPL ⚡ disconnected 🔄 Initializing Clojure language features...
with the clear advantage being that the nREPL ⚡ button wouldn't move around
(hopefully we all know how annoying a "moving" button is, right?)

I think we can achieve this by using createStatusBarItem and setting a low priority (maybe 0?) rather than using setStatusBarMessage. createStatusBarItem returns a StatusBarItem, which I think we then use to set the text and show it. https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#StatusBarItem

Actually, made we should implement that in statusbar.ts, where most other Calva status bar items are managed.

We call setStatusBarMessage here and in another place in that file:

calva/src/lsp/main.ts

Line 275 in 35f1490

vscode.window.setStatusBarMessage('$(sync~spin) Initializing Clojure language features via clojure-lsp', onReadyPromise);

If we want to use StatusBarItem I think we'll need to manage the disposal ourselves once clojure-lsp has started.
