Revisit use of modes

[pokey]

The problem

We have had issues in the past where commands are unexpectedly active in sleep mode, eg #561. The problem is that if you put mode: in a .talon file header, you disable the implicit mode: command, which in turn allows you to enable the file during sleep accidentally.

A quick search reveals that we still have some commands active in sleep mode for this reason. See eg go.talon, which results in go commands being active if talon is sleeping while you have a go file open.

The solution

We may want to prefer using tags in many of the places that we use modes today. For example, the following modes are good candidates to become tags:

• [x] user.homophones
• [x] user.windbg
• [x] user.help
• [x] user.help_scope
• [x] all programming language modes
• [ ] admin
• [ ] debug
• [ ] ida

On the other hand, things like "game" or "solo" would be examples of good, general modes, because a mode should ideally be very transformative of the command set and make sense when enabled by itself.

@pokey @knausj85 I've created a solution where we are back to a single line header for each language. This time using a tag.

tag: user.typescript

I have now made a pr to update the programming languages to use tags instead
