A list of file formats supported but not highlighted which are highlighted in VSCode

What is this?

This table represents file formats that are written in a language that is supported by Helix but not currently recognized. These formats are extracted from each extension (for languages Helix supports) in microsoft/vscode/tree/main/extensions, meaning VSCode will recognize them by default (descriptions were added by hand and aren't from the VSCode codebase).

(Up to date for commit 7702e130ba93f885ac56be5818b93c544a00538f)

Is this comprehensive?

Should be, I made this manually so some items may theoretically be missing or skipped. I did remove anything that was ambiguous (used by other filetypes, except in one case where it's relatively unlikely to be an issue) or that seems to have changed to use a different format

Why?

So we can add these to languages.toml and have an even better out of the box experience! 😄 (I intend to open a PR for this soon, but wanted to discuss here first)

Note: In languages where there's a gap in the entries, the top part is extensions, and the bottom is filenames
