Texlab snippets not shown

[hnorkowski]

Summary

When editing a tex-file using hx with texlab LSP there are no snippets shown from the LSP.
However, they work with the same LSP (and version) in neovim and vscode.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

• Opening tex file in hx with texlab LSP and typing \begin on a new line

I expected this to happen:

• Autocomplete offering a begin snippet that also adds \end and let me edit the name of the environment at both places at once

Instead, this happened:

• No snippet shown
• While testing it randomly worked a single time but never again.

Texlab uses incomplete completion rerequests (and isn't nearly as good at guessing what you want as other severs like RA). Helix, doesn't support these yet, that is a known limitation. You can press c-x to request new completions which will usually contain what you need.

Once #8021 is merged we can implement that part of the spec so the request is automatic
