modules/lsp: declare a stripped down servers."*" option

`"*"` is effectively a meta server, where shared config/defaults can be
set.

It shouldn't have options like `activate` or `package` which relate to
"real" servers. Therefore, we'll use `server-base.nix` directly, instead
of the full `server.nix` module.
