Create a GMX grammar #4

GMX is not a filetype for a GML source file - it is an xml file for objects in GameMaker - see https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/001_advanced%20use/008_exporting%20and%20importing%20resources.html

While I understand and agree with what GMX is, when you have code inside an object having the syntax highlighted is very useful. Not sure what do you think about it.

I have just published linter-gml, and because atom matches by scope, the XML file gets linted (and shows irrelevant error messages). I don't know if I could just restrict the linting to file types, not scopes, I might look into this.

A better solution may be to have a "gmx" grammar, which uses the xml grammar for anything other than string tags (which can contain GML code), then marks anything inside string tags as GML syntax. See the commit above.
