Release Notes:

- Added the option for highlights from languages to specify fallbacks.
That means that if you have a pattern with the captures `@second.capture
@first.capture`, Zed will first try resolving a highlight from your
theme for the code fragment using the first capture, then look for the
second capture if no match for the first capture could be found.
