CMP Menu Customization

[tostrstrudl]

• Split "kind" into two fields: kind_icon and kind_menu

• Changed "menu" to "source_menu"

• Added highlights for all "kinds" and their "kind_menu" column

• Modified lspkind.lua to fit the new variable names and to prevent value-passing confusion

• Truncated the title shown for "kind" type (probably not in the best way but Lua doesn't have match/case like C)

  Had to go into the source code and add a new field, and make necessary adjustments and additions to files in both nvim-cmp and lspkind repos. All in all though, it was very worth it. I can now style and rearrange all four cmp menu items (kind_icon, abbr, source_menu, and kind_menu)!! I'll upload a screenshot so it can be seen some time soon. I'm probably also missing a couple steps that I did, so either way I'll come back to edit this. Just wanted to share!

This is the menu that I was aiming to make, and why I started playing around in other people's code. I dunno, for some reason the idea sounded great and I couldn't help myself.

This, however, is the style that I settled on, since it's less in my way and I don't have a rainbow of bright colors distracting me (yes, I'm basically a raccoon).

Every piece of the menu (completion window; I haven't even dared to touch the docs popup yet) can be styled differently (yippee). I drew a lot of inspiration from the posted advanced configs on the wiki, but I wasn't satisfied with the "menu" and "kind" columns sharing a configuration. Anyway, I think I've found a simpler way to get all that stuff going so I'll try and see if I can clean up the mess I made in my files before I either lose them to an update or I break something. Again, just wanted to share :).
