Extension guide

Available editors:

• VSCode

If you want to support this LSP in other editors here is what you have to take into account:

• Configuration called hexpat-language-server.imhexBaseFolders. It is an array of strings.
• New semantic token bitfield. It's recommended that it inherits from "struct".
• New semantic token dollar. It's recommended that it inherits from "variable".
