Install languageserver automatically

See original GitHub issue

When extension is activated, if languageserver is not installed, we could install it automatically. This looks easy to implement:

We could run a script instead of the expression languageserver::run(...). In the script, we check if languageserver is installed. If not, run install.packages("langaugeserver") before running the language server.

We could either use command args to pass the values of debug and port, or use environment variables instead.

Speed of installation matters if people are also using devcontainers, every new build of the docker container means the extension has to be reinstalled.
