API docs: LSIF: use a queue for documentation grouping channels

Administrator requested to merge sg/apidocs-queue into main

Created by: slimsag

This switches collectDocumentation from emitting two channels of information, which are co-dependent (i.e., if one channel becomes full more results may not be sent until that channel is emptied) to a queued implementation where both channels operate independently. If more values are put into the queues than are being consumed, they get buffered in-memory until they are consumed. Otherwise, no additional dynamic buffering is done.

This is an important pre-requisite to adding documentation <-> codeintel mapping information.

It also occurs to me that this could have potentially been the cause of the fabled "I sometimes see LSIF uploads cause a deadlock" - I think that still shouldn't happen, but this (channel deadlock) could've been the cause potentially. I haven't explored that extensively.
