Skip call to proxy.golang.org to determine latest version of gopls

The prompt to update your gopls that was introduced in the previous update, relied on making calls to https://proxy.golang.org.
In this patch release, we replace such calls with a check against a known hard-coded value for the latest version of gopls. Details on the next steps here are captured in the issue 2776

Debugging & Tooling improvements!!!

Debugging improvements

Support for attaching to a local process and detaching without killing it!!

• @BetaXOi & Joel Hendrix (@jhendrixMSFT)

  • When debugging, support attaching to a local Go process and detaching gracefully without killing the process.
    This uses the attach command of delve. Feature Request 1599 implemented with PR 2125.

  Please note the feature of attaching to a local process using process id only works when the process is started by running the compiled code i.e the executable and not by using the command go run. This is a limitation from delve.

  • Use gotype-live to provide diagnostics as you type only when the user is not using gopls and is not in module mode. This is because gopls supports this feature out of the box and the tool doesnt support modules. Fixes Bug 1950 with commit d1bf95c5
