Fixes #956
This PR adds optional support for a new TypeScript server feature that allows the editor to provide file watch events instead of having tsserver watch all files directly. When enabled and supported, this can significantly reduce the number of filesystem watchers in large workspaces.

Requires TypeScript >= 5.4 and client support for dynamic watched-files registration and relative patterns. And if any prerequisite is missing, a warning is logged and the server continues with normal tsserver file watching, so no behavior change for existing users.
