Description
### How are you using the lua-language-server?
Visual Studio Code Extension (sumneko.lua)
### Which OS are you using?
Windows
### What is the issue affecting?
Completion
### Expected Behaviour
Not adding a whitespace character if a function is anonymous and therefore can't have a name.
### Actual Behaviour
Adds a whitespace character like if I were create a regular function, which I can name.
### Reproduction steps
1. Type `table.sort({}, `.
2. Once it suggests to autocomplete the template function, press Enter.
### Additional Notes
I think it's a bug because I've never seen anyone code like that. I couldn't find anything related to this in the settings nor in the documentation.

Research direction
Reproduce the completion behavior in the Visual Studio Code extension on Windows using `table.sort({}, ` and accept the suggested anonymous function template. Trace the completion handling for anonymous versus regular functions, then verify that accepting the anonymous template does not insert the extra whitespace character.
