Use above to move TM to plugins, perhaps with LSP like API, see #3571 (comment)

I think we always need something like TM to have an in-process cache for symbols/tags. We're still a lightweight IDE so a my requirement would be to not exchange megabytes of json text on every keystroke.

I call it TM2 because it doesn't necessarily need to be API-compatible to the current TM.

So I think my idea would be to keep TM2 in the core and call out to the ctags-server on some suitable opportunities, then cache the response and move forward.

Would have to make sure that TM2 is also compatible with other major language servers.

Question: How does a language server get access to the documents? Does it have to be saved on disk so that the server can open() it? If yes, how can LSP possible act on unsaved buffers? If no, do we have to constantly send the entire document via IPC or network?
