Missing language_id in "class Document"
I need to get language_id to identify source's kind. And there are so many LS need this too, such as [efm](https://github.com/mattn/efm-langserver).

pygls declared "TextDocumentItem" with lanuage_id in "pygls/lsp/types/basic_structures.py", but never use /store language_id.


```python
document = ls.workspace.get_document(params.text_document.uri)
document.source        # √
document.language_id   # ×
```
