Description
`atom-languageclient` has no functionality without `atom-ide-base`. We can use `atom-package-deps` to install `atom-ide-base` inside the `activate` function of `AutoLanguageClient`.
This will fix many issues all around the ecosystem in which people don't know how to set up the IDE.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the AutoLanguageClient activate function and review how atom-package-deps is used in this package. The work is complete when atom-ide-base is installed automatically during activation, resolving the setup problem described in the linked ecosystem example.
