bug#73452: Code lens support in eglot

["João Távora" <joaotavora@gmail.com>]

There is a discussion thread about this in the Eglot GitHub downstream tracker.

https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/pull/71

The current consensus there is that the feature is not _that_ useful,
and that a clean implementation isn't really trivial since there is no
underlying Emcas support structure (like there is for documentation,
cross-referencing, diagnostics, snippets, etc)

The server then offers to execute the code (in VSCode appearing as a small button above the expression). When pressed, it inserts the result in a comment just below. Here's an example after execution:
