langserver: TextEdits computed from diff for gofmt

Before this commit we would send an edit which deleted everything followed up by
inserting the formatted code. This lead to a bad experience in vscode. This
change implemented a more minimal number of TextEdits by using difflib. The
behaviour now matches the behaviour of vscode-go.
