VSCode Extension: Publish a no-server version without bundled binary #18578

Description

@darkyzhou

I'd like to suggest publishing an additional extension variant without the bundled rust-analyzer binary, for two main reasons:

  1. Reduce download size and time
  2. Enable support for architectures not officially supported by VSCode (e.g., RISC-V and Loong64 on VSCodium)

Currently, users on these alternative architectures cannot install the extension due to architecture restrictions, even if they have rust-analyzer installed on their system manually.

Would it be possible to publish such a "no-server" variant alongside the current extension?

EDIT: As for now we could use https://open-vsx.org/extension/loong-vsx/rust-analyzer
