Add support for setting include paths via initializationParams (#91)

This PR adds the ability to configure include paths dynamically through
LSP `initializationParams`, addressing a key limitation for Neovim users
where command-line arguments must be static but initialization options
can be set dynamically.

## Problem

Neovim's LSP configuration requires `cmd` and `args` to be static,
making it impossible to dynamically configure include paths based on
project context. While Neovim supports changing `initializationParams`
via the `before_init` callback, protols didn't support include path
configuration through this mechanism.

## Solution

Extended the LSP initialization process to parse and use include paths
from `initializationParams.include_paths`. The implementation:

- **Integrates seamlessly**: Merges with existing CLI and configuration
file include paths
- **Handles errors gracefully**: Invalid formats are logged but don't
crash the server
- **Maintains compatibility**: All existing functionality continues to
work unchanged

## Usage

Neovim users can now configure include paths dynamically:

```lua
require'lspconfig'.protols.setup{
  before_init = function(_, config)
    config.init_options = {
      include_paths = {
        "/usr/local/include/protobuf",
        "vendor/protos",
        "../shared-protos"
      }
    }
  end
}
```

## Implementation Details

- Extended `WorkspaceProtoConfigs` to store initialization include paths
- Added `parse_init_include_paths()` function to handle JSON parsing
with robust error handling
- Updated include path resolution to merge all sources (config file +
CLI + initialization)
- Added comprehensive test coverage with 6 new test cases
- Updated documentation with usage examples

## Testing

All existing tests continue to pass, plus new tests covering:
- Array format parsing
- String format parsing  
- Invalid format handling
- Integration with existing include path sources
- Real-world usage scenarios

Fixes #90.

+For dynamic configuration of include paths, you can use the `before_init` callback to set them via `initializationParams`:

You can also specify this using the `--include-paths` flag in the command line. The include paths from the CLI are combined with those from the configuration.
