That means we can now have highlighters active at global, buffer, and
window scope. The add-highlighter and remove-highlighter syntax changed
to take the parent path (scope/group/...) as a mandatory argument,
superseeding the previous -group switch.
Highlighting perl regex patterns with regular expressions (with
highlighters) caused several misses that made most of the file
unreadable. This commit makes `perl.kak` not try to highlight
those patterns in the code, and also addresses issues with string
highlighting.
The option is now used as a fallback when detection by extension fails. Some
scripts like `base/mail.kak` and `base/html.kak` still rely heavily on it.
Initialising the `comment_line_chars` and `comment_selection_chars` variables
in language support scripts created a hard dependency of those scripts
to `commenting.kak`, which would create errors when this script was not
loaded, e.g. when running tests.
Initializing the `formatcmd` variable in the default language support
scripts created a dependency to the `formatter.kak` script, which we do
not want. Examples of such cases are when users haven't loaded the
`formatter.kak` script, or when Kakoune runs its test suite and
selectively loads some language scripts for testing purposes.
