I think you can manually from the configuration side to do this (without
the involvement of eglot). You can just set `eglot-server-program` to be
your complex command to launch the docker "docker xxx xxx". The only
thing that is complicated is mounting.

I haven't come up with a way to mouting current root directory
automatically. The most simple way is to ensure all of your projects are
located in somewhere like ~/projects and simply mounting this directory
to the docker container.
