VSCode Integration does not work.

[TroyKomodo]

I understand this project does not officially maintain a vscode extension however, I suspect the issue might be upstream.

It seems from the extension that
https://github.com/ianandhum/vscode-protobuf-support/blob/1504ea03e101974d49a3906ac38ceffd75a7eac9/src/protols.ts#L5-L10

they are using the official https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node vscode-lsp bindings which support any server that implements the LSP protocol.

https://github.com/ianandhum/vscode-protobuf-support/blob/1504ea03e101974d49a3906ac38ceffd75a7eac9/src/protols.ts#L98-L109

They initialize it like this.

error: unexpected argument '--stdio' found

Usage: protols [OPTIONS]

For more information, try '--help'.

from the output logs of the extension it seems that protols isnt respecting LSP spec (I think), since the argument --stdio seems to be from the vscode-languageserver project not the extension itself.

Not sure if this is within scope to support the LSP spec, however it would definitely make using this language server easier for me (and maybe others).

A new release 0.11.6 with a fix for this is on the way. As a fix, I ignore any unknown CLI flags instead of failing.
