feat(lsp): return resolved config for vim.lsp.config[name]

Allows to retrieve the configuration as it will be used by `lsp.enable`
- including the parts merged from `*` and rtp.

This is useful for explicit startup control
(`vim.lsp.start(vim.lsp.config[name])`)

Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/31640
