* eglot.el (eglot-stay-out-of): New variable.
(eglot--setq-saving): Use it.
(eglot--managed-mode): Use eglot--setq-saving for imenu.  No need
to remove 'eglot-flymake-backend from diagnostic functions.

+Before Eglot starts \"managing\" a particular buffer, it

+\"managing\" stops (usually via `eglot-shutdown'), whereupon the
