Exposing the LanguageMetadata as const with satisfies allows the values of its members like languageId or fileExtensions to be exposed statically. This allows for patterns like

type MyFileExtensions = typeof MyFancyDSLLanguageMetaData.fileExtensions

Where MyFileExtensions is not typed to a generic string[] but to ['.myDsl'] which makes it easier to avoid mistakes.

Unfortunately this is a breaking change because it requires the fileExtensions on the LanguageMetaData to be readonly to work.

Where then MyFileExtensions is not typed to a generic `string[]`
