x/tools/gopls: Incompatibilities with kate editor's LSP client implementation

Dear gopls developers,

Kate editor implements LSP Client according to specification. There are issues with symbol rename functionality and also organize imports functionality. According to developers, it seems there might be issue with gopls interpretation of protocol specification.

See kate editor bugs:

As guessed by @leitzler in slace, gopls is not honoring WorkspaceEditClientCapabilities.

This is definitely a gopls bug, and may be straightforward to fix. Unfortunately, I don't think it will make the v0.8.0 milestone as we are prioritizing fixes/features related to Go 1.18.

Having superficially investigated, I think it's just an oversight that we're not supporting the changes API, and might be straightforward to fix.

No, gopls still does not look at WorkspaceEditClientCapabilities; sorry.
