[gopls-release-branch.0.3] internal/lsp: remove nilness analyzer

The nilness analyzer requires SSA, which is very expensive to build and
uses a lot of RAM. It also seems to really shoot up memory usage when it
hits certain cases, which is causing a lot of problems for users.
Disable this analysis - we'll leave SSA to staticcheck.

Updates golang/go#36639
