Implement semantic tokens

[jakebailey]

Fixes #1894

I am a little scared of this one. VS Code seems to ask for doc highlights, semantic tokens, diags, all in quick succession. All three of those require checkers, which means we are likely creating 3 checkers to handle these.

Pull Request Overview

This PR implements semantic token support for the TypeScript language server, enabling syntax highlighting based on semantic understanding of code (types, symbols, modifiers) rather than just syntax. This is a major editor feature that enhances the developer experience.

Key changes:

• Added semantic token generation in the language service layer with type-based classification and modifier detection
• Integrated semantic token handlers into the LSP server with support for both full-document and range-based requests
• Created extensive test infrastructure with 40+ test files covering various semantic classification scenarios

Wasn't the same true for document highlights and semantic tokens?

Does it feel reasonable in a larger codebase?

Ah, but we didn't make more checkers.
