Fix trailing characters error when connecting via tcp

[karolinepauls]

I normally avoid VimScript like fire so I don't really know what's going on. But I needed to remove it to make the TCP transport work for me. Otherwise I was getting a trailing characters error in ensure_start.

My config:

au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
    \ 'name': 'pylsp',
    \ 'tcp': "localhost:6001",
    \ 'allowlist': ['python'],
    \ })

the rest is standard, from the README.

I confirm: either code is wrong or documentation needs to be changed to show parameter taking a function instead of string

[karolinepauls]

Judging from the code (i haven't re-tested it), this is still unresolved on master (see

vim-lsp/autoload/lsp.vim

Line 475 in c20c665

let l:tcp = l:server_info['tcp'](l:server_info)

)

Please look into it.

@prabirshrestha This fix has been waiting for a year, which means TCP has been broken for more than that. Please click merge.

@karolinepauls I think a fix to the documentation would be actually preferable
