Kite (and LSP) completions frequently not displayed

See original GitHub issue

Problem Description

Kite (and LSP) completions frequently don’t show up:

start Spyder in debug mode with Kite installed & running
type the following

import numpy as np

np.ar‸

backspace and type r repeatedly

sometimes no completions show up
sometimes ArithmeticError shows up (presumably from LSP?)
sometimes Kite completions show up
in all cases, you can see the Kite completions request returns very quickly, and the response is shown in the debugging output

I expect Kite completions (and LSP?) to always show up. As a separate issue, the completions ordering returned by Kite is not respected: I will create a separate issue to track this.

This is a good idea! We could make Kite and LSP mutually exclusive so one doesn’t affect the other.

@goanpeca, please keep in mind that there are requests that only can be attended by LSP, such as go-to-definition and workspace-related calls
