Adopt semantic highlighting

[aeschli]

Since 1.43, VSCode themes can take advantage of semantic highlighting.

Every theme controls whether semantic tokens are enabled. So far, only built-in themes have it enabled and I filed this issue to ask you to opt-in for the ayu theme as well.

Adoption is easy and there are new cool styling possibilities.

To turn on semantic highlighting for a theme, all you have to do is put
"semanticHighlighting": true
in the theme's definition file.

There's a good chance that no further change to the theme is needed (thanks to a default mapping from semantic tokens to TextMate scopes (if not, I'd be interested to know, so I can improve the defaults further)).

But, more interestingly, themes can tune and go wild by defining new styling rules against the semantic tokens:

"semanticTokenColors": {
    "variable.readonly": "#ff0000", 
    "parameter": { "fontStyle": "underline" },
    "*.declaration:java": { "fontStyle": "bold" }
} 

Check out our Semantic Highlighting Wiki and the Semantic Highlighting Guide for more details and feel free to ping me in this issue if I can help.

Thanks for the great work and looking forward to semantic highlighting in your theme.

Released in v1 colors. No italics or bolds tho. Not sure how to handle them in the best manner. Feel free to reopen if you have an idea
