Sam Rawlins d337f4b84b analyzer: rename "packages" files to "package config" files
I found one instance of a variable called "packagesFile" and well, I
pulled that thread :/

There is a nice functional simplification here: The `_findPackagesFile`
function returned a `_PackagesFile` object, which contained both a
`Folder parent` and a `File file`. The latter was never referenced, so
simplification 1. Also, the reason to have an object that stores both
is that this object handled both `.packages` files, whose immediate
parent is `parent`, and `package_config.json` files, whose _grandparent_
is `parent`. But with the distinction gone, we don't need this
`_PackagesFile` class, and `_findPackagesFile` can instead return the
folder, and be renamed `_findFolderWithPackageConfigFile`.

analysis_server

A long-running process that provides analysis results to other tools.

The analysis server is designed to provide on-going analysis of one or more code bases as those code bases are changing.

Using the server

The analysis server is not intended to be used stand-alone, and therefore does not have a human-friendly user interface.

Clients (typically tools, such as an editor) are expected to run the analysis server in a separate process and communicate with it using a JSON protocol. The original protocol is specified in the file analysis_server/doc/api.html and Language Server Protocol support is documented in tool/lsp_spec/README.md.
