Description
It would be useful to be able to add custom diagnostics that can be propagated from plugin.lua in a custom plugin.
For a plugin my team is developing, we need a way to check that values the user is setting a variable to fall within a certain range (among other possible diagnostics). I can understand why this wouldn't be desirable to add to the core diagnostics.

Research direction
Start by reading plugin.lua and tracing how plugin-provided information could be propagated into the language server's diagnostics. Confirm the expected behavior for range checks and define tests showing that custom diagnostics from a plugin reach users.
