Description
Currently all of vscode-lean4 runs as a workspace extension, meaning that in remote setups it will run in the remote extension host. This makes the abbreviations UX pretty bad when the connection has a high latency, because abbreviations are resolved across the network. It would be nicer if they were resolved locally. I'm not 100% sure but this might require splitting out a small "abbreviations" extension with extensionKind: ["ui"].

Research direction
Read the linked VS Code extension-host guidance first, then locate the current abbreviations provider and the extension manifest. Determine how the provider could run in a UI extension and what must be split out; done means abbreviations resolve locally in remote setups without breaking the existing extension.
