x/tools/gopls: run go generate through CodeLens

This change adds support for recognizing a //go:generate directive
and offering a CodeLens that will then send a "generate" command to
the server to run "go generate" or "go generate ./...". Because
"go generate" can only be executed per package, there is no need to show
the CodeLens on top of every //go:generate comment. Therefore, only the
top directive will be considered.

The stdout/stderr of the go generate command will be piped to the logger
while stderr will also be sent to the editor as a window/showMessage

The user will only know when the process starts and when it ends so that they wouldn't
get bogged with a large number of message windows popping up. However, they can
check the logs for all the details.

If a user wants to cancel the "go generate" command, they will be able
to do so with a "Cancel" ActionItem that the server will offer to the client

Fixes golang/go#37680

Go Tools

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.

Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get.

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.

Download/Install

The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.
