x/tools/gopls: go to implementation of a variable

[mateusz834]

When i want to see the type definition of a variable that is under my cursor, currently the only way to get there is to go to the declaration of the variable, which in most cases is a function call, go to def of that call, move cursor to the results list and go to definition of that type.

It would be nice if the "go to implementation" action, when called on a *types.Var would go to the type definition of that var under my cursor.

Oh, only now realized looking at lsp docs that there is a https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_typeDefinition and it seems to work with gopls.
