Description
Recent LSP version has partialResults, which would fit very well numerous use-cases such as completion when a LS can take long to return some results. LSP4E should include support for it.
At the moment, LSP4J has the token visible in API. However, it may be worth improving LSP4J so it can allow future.getNow() to return those partial results.

Research direction
Start by tracing how LSP4E requests completion results and how the LSP4J token is exposed in its API. Review whether LSP4J can provide partial results through future.getNow(), then define the coordination needed for LSP4E to consume them. Done means partialResults support works for long-running completion requests.
