Export lc.LanguageClient from VSCode extension

As described in [this Zulip thread](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/185405-t-compiler.2Frust-analyzer/topic/Use.20Rust.20Analyzer.20in.20another.20VSCode.20extension), I would like to experiment with using Rust Analyzer's language server inside another VSCode extension, [Flowistry](https://github.com/willcrichton/flowistry). My current use case is to use one of Rust Analyzer's assists (extract function).

This PR would enable that experimentation by exporting the `lc.LanguageClient` from the `activate` function, which [allows other extensions to access it](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#extensions). This PR does **not** commit RA to any stability guarantees about the language client, similar to how rustc exports an unstable API.
