Research direction
Review existing package definitions in mason.nvim (e.g., for similar LSP servers) to understand the required format and API. Then create a new package definition for vhdl ls using the release assets from https://github.com/VHDL LS/rust hdl/releases. Ensure the package installs correctly and integrates with the VHDL language server protocol.
