Implementations of Monaco language extension

Most light way, all in one repo, do not need build monaco-editor or start language server.
example: https://github.com/zhixzhan/lsp-web-example/

Client	Languageservice
createEditor
registerLanguage
setTokenizer
createModel
setEditorLanguage
call Languageservice
	Do languageFeatures

2. LSP-Web-Plugin

Pack static language setting to monaco-editor, do not need start language server. (current composer use this way)

connect Server	listen LSP Request
	process Request
	...
	compose document
	call Languageservice

MiddleWare Requirements

For inline LG editing, we do not want pass current editor content directly to languageService. we need a middleware re-compose document.
For LU editing, we want call LUIS, before call languageService, or after that before send diagnostics to client.
