fix(lsp): treat nil inlay hint result as empty array (#35458)

`gopls` seems to send a nil result when there are no inlay hints for the
buffer. [The protocol](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_inlayHint)
allows for the server to send an array or nil, and it isn't clear what
nil should represent. I think it's reasonable to treat it as an empty
array though.
