BREAKING CHANGE: Setup refactor and code cleanup

This MR makes several major tweaks to the codebase. Primarily it adjusts
the setup steps for the application so that rather than providing just
the project ID in the `.gitlab.nvim` file, users can also provide a
vareity of other settings, such as auth_token, base_branch, and so
forth. This is to make the project more extensible in the future.

This MR also fixes a variety of issues with error handling in the code,
primarily in the request/response model between the Lua jobs and the
Golang server.

## Installation
You'll need to have an environment variable available in your shell that you use to authenticate with Gitlab's API. It should look like this:
```bash
export GITLAB_TOKEN="your_gitlab_token"
```
Then install the plugin. Here's what it looks like with <a href="https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim">Lazy</a>:

## Configuring per Gitlab Repository
## Configuration
By default, the plugin will not connect to a gitlab repository. You must add a `.gitlab.nvim` file to the root of your directory. The plugin will read that file and use it as the project ID. The file should only contain the ID of the project:
This plugin requires a `.gitlab.nvim` file in the root of the local Gitlab directory. Provide this file with values required to connect to your gitlab instance (gitlab_url is optional, used for self-hosted instances):
```
112415
project_id=112415
auth_token=your_gitlab_token
gitlab_url=https://my-personal-gitlab-instance.com
```
The tool will look for and interact with MRs against a "main" branch. You can configure this by passing in the `base_branch` option:
If you don't want to write your authentication token into a dotfile, you may provide it as a shell variable. For instance in your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file:
```lua
require('gitlab').setup({ base_branch = 'master' })
```bash
export AUTH_TOKEN="your_gitlab_token"
```
If you are using `main` as your branch and you add a `.gitlab.nvim` configuration file, you can call an empty setup function and the plugin will work:
By default, the plugin will interact with MRs against a "main" branch. You can configure this by passing in the `base_branch` option to the `.gitlab.nvim` configuration file for your project.
```lua
require('gitlab').setup()

## Configuring the Plugin
Here is the default setup function:
```lua
require("gitlab").setup({
base_branch = "main",
port = 20136, -- The port of the Go server, which runs in the background
log_path = vim.fn.stdpath("cache"), -- Log path for the Go server

This is useful if you plan to leave comments on the diff, because this plugin currently only supports leaving comments on lines that have been added or modified. I'm currenly working on adding functionality to allow users to leave comments on any lines, including those that have been deleted or untouched.
## Debugging
This plugin is built on top of a Golang server. If you want to debug that server, you can run it independently of Neovim. For instance, to start it up in a certain project, navigate to your plugin directory, and build the binary:
```bash
$ cd ~/.local/share/nvim/lazy/gitlab.nvim
$ cd cmd
$ go build -gcflags=all="-N -l" -o bin && cp ./bin ~/path-to-your-project
$ cd ~/path-to-your-project
$ dlv exec ./bin -- 41057709 https://www.gitlab.com 21036 your-gitlab-token
```
You can send JSON to it like you would any other REST server.
