[ANN] new releases: Merlin 5.8 and OCaml-LSP 1.27.0 with support for OCaml 5.5

I am glad to announce new releases of Merlin and OCaml-LSP !

Merlin is an editor service that provides modern IDE features for OCaml and OCaml-LSP is a frontend for Merlin that speaks with LSP clients.

There are a few bug fixes in these but the main feature is the stable support for OCaml 5.5.
