No, no, after closer analysis, this is not right.  Command must
absolutely be there in the matcher, as textDocument/codeAction
can simply return an array of them.

On closer analysis the only confusing thing is that the spec
encourages clients to call textDocument/executeCommand with
illegal ExecuteCommandParams objects that contain an extraneous
'title'

Most servers apparently don't care, but Eglot is doing this and
it's a subtle bug.

I think the right thing to do is to have Command _and_
ExecuteCommandParams in the matcher.

After that:

* custom callers of `textDocument/executeCommand` can do their thing
   (they could already but now it's arguably easiest)
* Eglot won't suffer from this subtle bug
* Hopefully the situation is clearer

While none of this is super-serious, I think we can fix it and
we'll benefit in clarity.

But if it is present, it shouldn't be a string, so it should still
work in the order.

I've done a tweak to your patch.  See after my sig.  It's untested, so
please have a look. If you can, test, add more comments, change the order
if indeed it's needed.  You can also change the implementation if you think
the recursiveness makes it more confusing.

When that is done, please resubmit the patch with the nicely formatted
commit message (just like you did before) and I'll ask someone to
install it (or install it myself).
