Description

If I want to use ruff server as a user and know the command to use and the specific initialization parameters/runtime dependencies it might require, it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to allow the user to use their own Language Servers if they would be allowed to.

Research direction

Start by tracing how multilspy currently starts and initializes a language server, then verify the command, initialization parameters, and runtime dependencies needed by ruff server. Done means a caller can supply an external server configuration and use it through the library, with coverage for that path.
