  • Explanation: Inlay hints have been upstreamed to the Language Server Protocol and this PR migrates SourceKit-LSP's custom request to the standard LSP request. Besides being more widely supported, standard inlay hints have the advantage of being very customizable, e.g. VSCode can be configured to only show the hints while a certain keybinding is held.
  • Scope: Only affects clients that send inlay hint requests, in particular SourceKit-LSP's non-standard requests.
  • Risk: Clients using the previous non-standard inlay hints will no longer be able to show these, the standard LSP hints should be preferable in any case though and are being supported by recent versions of vscode-languageclient already.
  • Testing: Experimentation with recent versions of VSCode and vscode-swift (see Migrate to upstream LSP inlay hints on the client side vscode-swift#198)
  • Issue: rdar://95141875

- Use official textDocument/inlayHint request
- Rename InlayHintCategory to InlayHintKind
- Additionally, represent it using an Int, as in the proposed LSP API.
- Add inlay hint client capabilities
- Add inlay hint server capabilities
- Add dynamic registration of inlay hint request
- Rename InlayHintsRequest -> InlayHintRequest
  This is to be consistent with the request itself being named in singular
  in LSP and the other requests (e.g. DocumentSymbolRequest).
- Forward inlay hint requests to clangd
- Add colon before inlay hints
- Add other properties to InlayHint
- Add InlayHintLabel structures
- Conform InlayHintLabel to ExpressibleByStringX protocols
- Attach TextEdit to inlay hints for committing them
- Add InlayHint.data
- Fix InlayHintTests
  We need to include text edits in the expected inlay hints.
