Configure where to store the downloaded and compiled LS
Let the user choose where the LS sources and binaries should be stored and whether or not they should be managed by this plugin or something else (which would deactivate auto update as described in #2).
When I wrote this, I had to use different versions of the LS for different projects, or at least same version compiled with different erlangs/elixir combinations.
If I had been able to configure each version for each project it would had helped me a lot.
Also it would make testing self-made changes to the LSP itself easier if one could just change the PATH, instead of having to actually start VScode in development mode with an ElixirLS plugin that has been edited to use the local version of the LSP.
Though as I said in #1 and #2, I'm not using VScode anymore and therefore those issues are not relevant for me. I'm just trying to point out why I have created them initially.
Emacs with lsp-mode, it just searches for the binary in PATH, so I make sure via an .envrc that the correct version of elixir LS is in PATH first.
