make auto-update of nextls configurable #209

Description

@dch

nextls is automatically fetched for more common OS & platforms, but for other
platforms it should be possible to disable the auto-update, or at least
handle it more gracefully than just bailing out.

Currently I'm just building nextls locally in a repo and starting it listening
on the appropriate port as required.

What's a reasonable approach here? I see a few options:

  • provide a way to skip auto-update but still have nextls usable
  • handle download failure more gracefully with:
    • bail with a reasonable error message if not MacOS or Linux
    • ditto for other architectures
    • check if curl is available
    • handle failure of curl itself
