[fpc-pascal] What to do to get new users

I am aware of your work. As long as you still depend on CodeTools and 
Lazarus internals, the language server can't be called independent. I 
have tried to compile the LSP (at least Michaël's version) and it seems 
to fail every time. Which is why I am trying to make my own, in an 
attempt to be more usable right away for VSCode. I also use ST4 from 
time to time, as well as Neovim and Emacs, and the experience there has 
been lackluster, sadly. IMO, there is community interest in the project 
itself, but when push comes to shove, magically nobody wants to get 
involved. Is this the bystander effect? Maybe. /shrug

I'll revisit your extensions and give pascal-language-server yet another 
shot, but I am not too confident. If I can make it work within a CI/CD 
context, I'll send a PR. This would imply cloning all of Lazarus, and 
following trunk (I wonder if that's still needed, since Laz 3.6 is out), 
and that's why not having Lazarus in the mix would be a net benefit.
