Add an optional version parameter to LanguageServerProtocol publish_diagnostics
- The LSP v15 added an optional version parameter to the publishDiagnostics notification.
- PublishDiagnosticsParams includes version but,
- LanguageServerProtocol.publish_diagnostics is not  using version

Please make version an optional parameter of LanguageServerProtocol.publish_diagnostics so that Lsp Servers can implement this feature.
