Remove Squirrel code paths doing language detection based on filenames #56378
Description
For example, see:
https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph@64014d315541081a078bfd63473bd2fcca025005/-/blob/cmd/symbols/squirrel/languages.go?L34:5-34:14
https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph@64014d3/-/blob/cmd/symbols/squirrel/language-file-extensions.json
This is fundamentally flawed because language detection cannot be done based on filenames in the general case, it requires examining the file's contents.
Since the Squirrel code paths are in Go, it might make sense to tackle this after or together with https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/56379
