Support multiple text document synchronization options
Currently we support just incremental updates. The goal is to support all synchronization options specified by the [protocol](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification):

```
/**
 * Defines how the host (editor) should sync document changes to the language server.
 */
export namespace TextDocumentSyncKind {
	/**
	 * Documents should not be synced at all.
	 */
	export const None = 0;

	/**
	 * Documents are synced by always sending the full content
	 * of the document.
	 */
	export const Full = 1;

	/**
	 * Documents are synced by sending the full content on open.
	 * After that only incremental updates to the document are
	 * send.
	 */
	export const Incremental = 2;
}
```
