Support bracket colorization (rainbow brackets) (#43172)

Deals with https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5259

Highlights brackets with different colors based on their depth.
Uses existing tree-sitter queries from brackets.scm to find brackets,
uses theme's accents to color them.

1. Adds `colorize_brackets` language setting that allows, per language
or globally for all languages, to configure whether Zed should color the
brackets for a particular language.

Disabled for all languages by default.

2. Any given language can opt-out a certain bracket pair by amending the
brackets.scm like `("\"" @open "\"" @close) ` -> `(("\"" @open "\""
@close) (#set! rainbow.exclude))`

3. Brackets are using colors from theme accents, which can be overridden
as

```jsonc
"theme_overrides": {
  "One Dark": {
    "accents": ["#ff69b4", "#7fff00", "#ff1493", "#00ffff", "#ff8c00", "#9400d3"]
  }
},
```

Release Notes:

- Added bracket colorization (rainbow brackets) support. Use
`colorize_brackets` language setting to enable.
