Motivation
Closes #3315
We can't let add-ons exit the server process or else the LSP dies and has no way of recovering.
Implementation
We can prevent only add-ons/dependencies from exiting the code by rescuing
SystemExit
when processing messages. Every interaction with add-ons and gems goes through that method and the LSP's own exit mechanism doesn't, so we are still able to normally exit while stopping others from accidentally exiting the process.Automated Tests
Added a test that reproduces the scenario.
