Description
Investigate support for incremental compilation using the [official Kotlin compiler API](https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/master/compiler/incremental-compilation-impl) instead of the mechanism currently used ([as described in the README](https://github.com/fwcd/KotlinLanguageServer/blob/master/README.md#this-repository-needs-your-help)), because this might improve performance considerably.

Research direction
Start by reading the README section linked in the issue to understand the current compilation mechanism, then review the official Kotlin compiler incremental-compilation implementation. Determine how the existing approach could be replaced and how performance should be evaluated; the work is complete when incremental compilation uses the official API and its impact is assessed.
