With #34111, we are forwarding the LSP from one gopls instance to
another. This exposed an asymmetry in our LSP dispatching: for both
ClientDispatcher and ServerDispatcher, we unmarshal to non-nil response
structs. This means that when forwarding the LSP, we translate empty
JSON responses (corresponding to nil values) into the non-nil zero
value.
This causes problems for some editors, as reported in #37570. Fix it by
instead unmarshaling to a pointer.
This is, of course, a somewhat dangerous change. I fixed the one NPE
that occurred in tests, and have done some mild manual testing. I
wouldn't be surprised if we discover more NPEs later on, but I still
think this is the right change to make.
