[lldb-vscode] disable completions

Summary:
Completion requests are causing some problems in the debugger, which is explained in the comment in the code.
I'm disabling it for now until we have time to do a good implementation of it.

// We need to improve the current implementation of completions in order to

// - VSCode sends a completion request whenever chars are added, the user
// triggers completion manually via CTRL-space or similar mechanisms, but
// not when there's a deletion. Besides, VSCode doesn't let us know which
// of these events we are handling. What is more, the use can paste or cut
// sections of the text arbitrarily.
// https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/89531 tracks part of the
// issue just mentioned.
// This behavior causes many problems with the current way completion is
// implemented in lldb-vscode, as these requests could be really expensive,
// blocking the debugger, and there could be many concurrent requests unless
// the user types very slowly... We need to address this specific issue, or
// at least trigger completion only when the user explicitly wants it, which
// is the behavior of LLDB CLI, that expects a TAB.
