Description
If we know exactly which method the user is currently typing, we can provide completion for the keyword arguments required to invoke that method.
E.g.:
class Foo
def bar(a:, b:)
end
def baz
baz()
#^^ when the cursor is here we can show `a` and `b` as possible symbol completions
end
end

Research direction
Start by tracing the Ruby LSP completion flow for a method call and the logic that identifies the method being typed. Use the example in the issue to determine how required keyword parameters should appear as symbol completions. Done means calls to methods with required keyword arguments offer those argument names without changing unrelated completion behavior.
